Welcome to Litsy!

Browsing my local Barnes and Noble, I stumbled upon a game book for an Oz tabletop RPG. It is amazing. I had to find out more about Oz. Having only known the Wizard of Oz and its sequel Return to Oz, I did not know too much about Oz. But now I have the complete collection here on my kindle and will journey into the land of Oz posthaste. Wish me luck.

“Where in the world did you come from?”
“From the land of Oz,” said Dorothy gravely. “And here is Toto, too. And oh, Aunt Em! I‘m so glad to be at home again!”

This is very short and takes place after The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. The world isn‘t as expansive and it‘s really too short to feel much about it, so I think reading it without the previous novella wouldn‘t be a great experience. If you have read the previous novella, you‘ll likely enjoy this episode that follows the events of that story.

Finished this on my way home. I‘m not convinced of the necessity of the dual timeline. Most of the time was spent in the past — I‘d often forget that there was also a story being told about the filming of The Wizard of Oz.

I‘m headed home tomorrow, so I took one last walk by the river this evening. I‘m enjoying Finding Dorothy. #audiowalk

Just the perfect read for today. With a dual timeline, Letts gives us a peek into Frank and Maud‘s courtship, marriage, and family; then shows how Mrs. Baum, through visits to MGM and heart-to-heart talks with Judy Garland, influenced the movie and its magic during filming.

“Magic isn‘t things materializing out of nowhere. Magic is when a lot of people all believe in the same thing at the same time, and somehow we all escape ourselves a little bit…”

I enjoyed this story about the making of The Wizard of Oz and the life of the author told through his wife.
