If you're from Kansas, you've surely encountered plenty of Wizard of Oz jokes and quips. Where's Dorothy? You're not in Kansas anymore! I'm melting! But what you may not know is the fascinating story behind L. Frank Baum's classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This talk explores the unique appeal of this first truly American fairy tale, and its legacy on our culture from speech, to music, to media. This presentation pulls back the curtain on Baum's crowning achievement. We have a limited number of complimentary original Wonderful Wizard of Oz books by L. Frank Baum at the library. You may "think" you know the Wizard of Oz story, but the books are different from the movie! Oz Mueum Curator Chris Glasgow will lead this entertaining program.Friday, February 24, 2023
