The Magical Land of Oz Summary of this story: A strong tornado takes a young girl named Dorothy from her home in Kansas and drops her in Oz, which is a strange and magical land. "The Magical Land of Oz" is the story of Dorothy's adventures when she gets to Oz. As she goes through this new land, she meets a group of friendly people called the Munchkins. These people, along with a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion who isn't afraid of anything, decide to go with her to see the great Wizard of Oz, who they think will grant their wishes and make them come true. Along the way, Dorothy and her friends must deal with several problems, such as a deep and dangerous river, a field of deadly flowers, and a bad witch who wants to stop them from getting to the Wizard. Even though they are going through hard times, they continue to be honest with each other and help each other as they work together to use their different skills to solve each problem. When they finally get to the Emerald City and are given a chance to talk to the famous Wizard of Oz, they are surprised. They're very surprised to find out that he's not who he seems to be. On the other hand, he has the power to give Dorothy's friends what they want, like giving the dummy brains, the tin man a heart, and the scared lion courage. But when Dorothy asks the Wizard to help her find her way back to Kansas, he doesn't seem to know what to do. But a nice witch named Glinda comes up to them and tells them that Dorothy had always had the power to go home. All she had to do was use the golden slippers she had been wearing since she got to Oz. Dorothy and her friends are all shocked by this. They attack the house of the wicked witch as a group, killing the witch's servants as they move toward the royal room. They get to the place where the Witch is waiting with a wicked grin on her face. But Dorothy and her friends' bravery and determination make it impossible for the Witch to beat them. They fight bravely and use their own strengths to beat the Witch's tricks and traps. In the end, Dorothy is the one who gives the Witch the final blow, which causes her to scream in failure as she falls to the ground. The Witch has been defeated, so Dorothy and her friends can go back to the Emerald City. There, they say goodbye to their friends and get ready to go back home. When Dorothy closes her eyes and clicks her heels together, she feels a huge surge of energy rush through her body. When she finally opens her eyes, she is shocked to see that she is back in her own bedroom in Kansas. She is so happy to be back in her familiar surroundings. Even though she will never forget what she went through in Oz, she is sure that she has a new sense of purpose and meaning in her life and is ready to face any challenges that come her way. The Journey Starts: There was once a little girl whose name was Dorothy. She lived with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry and other cousins on a small farm in Kansas. Dorothy was a young girl who was kind and interested in the world around her. She wanted to learn as much as she could about it. One day, a black cloud filled the sky over Kansas, and a strong wind started to blow. Dorothy was a young girl who lived with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry on a small farm. As she watched the storm clouds gather on the horizon, she started to feel uneasy. She ran straight to the windows and doors and locked them as quickly as she could so that the worst of the storm wouldn't get in. As she looked out the window, however, she saw something that made her heartbeat faster suddenly. A huge cyclone was coming closer and spinning with an amazing amount of force. Dorothy watched in fear as it got closer and closer, threatening to hurt everyone in its way and rip it apart. Dorothy felt like she was being lifted into the air when suddenly, the house started shaking very hard. She tried hard to hold on to a nearby bedpost as the house was lifted higher and higher into the air, but she was able to. Dorothy was tossed around by the wind for what seemed like hours, and she felt like a leaf caught in a storm. She didn't know where she was going or what would happen to her, but she knew she had to hold on for dear life and cross her fingers that everything would be okay. After what seemed like an age, the winds finally started to calm down, and the house started to fall. Dorothy looked out the window and saw that Kansas was no longer visible. She didn't know much about the outside world; it was strange and full of colors and things she had never seen before. She walked out of the house and took in her surroundings. She was shocked and amazed by what she saw. The grass under her feet was a bright shade of green, and the sky was a deep shade of blue. In the distance, the leaves on the trees were different colors, such as red, gold, and purple. It was a wonderful sight. Dorothy knew she was in Oz when she took a good look around and saw that it was a strange and magical place. She knew about the stories about Oz, but she had never thought that the land might really exist. As she looked around at the amazing things in front of her, she realized that she had been taken to a different world. As she turned her head to see what was going on around her, she saw that she was surrounded by happy, tiny beings. They were called Munchkins, and when Dorothy got to Oz, they welcomed her with open arms. When Dorothy arrived in Oz, the leader of the gang, a small man with a round face and a pointy hat, said, "Welcome to Oz, Dorothy!" Dorothy smiled at the Munchkins and said, "We are overjoyed to have you with us today." She also said that their presence made her feel warm and safe. She had never felt so welcome and accepted everywhere she went before. Dorothy's adventures in Oz led her to find many strange and wonderful animals, plants, and things. She met a scarecrow who needed a brain, a tin man who needed a heart, and a scared lion who needed guts. Everyone in this story needed something. They thought that if they went to see the great Wizard of Oz, he could make their wishes come true, so they set out together to find him. Along the way, they ran into a lot of trouble and resistance, but they didn't give up or lose sight of their goal. Dorothy noticed that as they went through Oz, she was getting stronger and surer of herself, and this trend kept going. She learned more about how important company is, how important patience is, and how strong it is to believe in one's own skills. In the end, they made it to the Emerald City, which people thought was where the famous Wizard of Oz lived. They were given the chance to talk to the Wizard, who was a strong and scary person. But as they talked with the Wizard longer, they realized he wasn't who he seemed to be. The Wizard was just an ordinary person who used sleight of hand to make it look like he was a powerful magician.

"The Wizard is a lovable humbug, an artful salesman who gives his customers something to believe in, even if the thing is known to be pretend. Playing a role, he presents Dorothy's friends with talismans of brains, heart and courage and takes pride in showing them how he accomplished his illusions. Why do Dorothy's friends put their faith in the Wizard's abilities to grant their requests even after he has shown them that he has only been putting on a show? Perhaps his virtuoso performances inspire their own, and ours too. His humbug guides the philosophy of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the theatrical style of the first Oz musical, the extravaganza of 1902, with implications for "American" performance and participation"--

Ozma of Oz is the book in Frank Baum's Oz book series. It records the adventures of Oz with Dorothy Gale of Kansas, the Yellow Hen, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, Tiktok, the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger; and other characters. It is the first Oz narrative in which the majority of the events occur outside of Oz. Only the final two chapters are set in Oz. This conveys a slight change in theme: in the first book, Oz is the perilous land through which Dorothy must make her way back to Kansas; in the third, Oz is the book's conclusion and goal. Dorothy's wish to return home is not as strong as it was in the first book, and it is her uncle's need for her rather than her own that compels her to do so.

“Fantastic.” Gore Vidal, New York Review of Books “Grand.” Ray Bradbury, Los Angeles Times “Definitive.” Salmon Rushdie, The New Yorker “A fluent, incisive and fair history of life in Hollywood during the golden age of films. The author seems to have talked to everyone with knowledge of what went on at MGM in its heyday. . . . Marvelous.” Publishers Weekly From the ten scriptwriters at work to the scandal headlines of Munchkin orgies at the Culver City Hotel to the Witch's (accidental) burning, here is the real story of the making of The Wizard of Oz. This richly detailed re-creation brings alive a major Hollywood studio and reveals, through hundreds of interviews (with cameramen, screenwriters, costume designers, directors, producers, light technicians, and actors), how the factory-like Hollywood system of moviemaking miraculously produced one of the most enduring and best-loved films ever made. We watch it happen--the bright, idiosyncratic, wildly devoted MGM-ers inventing the lines, the songs; flying hordes of monkeys through the sky; growing a poppy field; building the Emerald City (and 60 other sets); designing and sewing the nearly 1,000 costumes; enduring the pressures from the front office; choosing the actors. Here is Oz, a marvelous, unprecedented experience of studio life as it was lived day by day, detail by detail, department by department, at the most powerful and flamboyant studio Hollywood has ever known--at its moment of greatest power. Aljean Harmetz is the author of The Making of Casablanca, On the Road to Tara: The Making of Gone with the Wind, and other books.
