A review by kinosthesia
The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum

3.0

Having only read the 'Return to OZ' before now, it was really good to return to that magical land and discover how much of this particular book had been used for that film. Always quite quotable in places and with new characters its definitely aimed at children, though as an adult i rather enjoy returning to that place :). I thought the woggle-bug was a really delightful name for a being in OZ and the witch Mombi and the Gump and the introduction of Ozma was all here. I'll be making my way through the rest of the OZ books now and am looking forward to seeing how Baum developed the world further.
