Wizard of Oz Books -online books

Did you know the movie was based on a book? Yes, and the author wrote several other books that take place in Oz. Show this website to your kids and they'll have hours of fun reading all about the Scarecrow and the Tinman...

Is Sherlock Holmes involved in the Wizard Of OZ story? I don't think so. Obviously Jimbob has not read the Wizard Of OZ story before.

 

was Glinda the fair Godmother? if i ever see a link for her i'll let you know, Rita

 

the Good Witch? I think?

 

i dont want to get in anyone's bad books but, i think there's a link to the auther of the Sherlock Holmes' books in the second link i gave.

last link from above...

whether JB knew that, or not, is another question

if you missed it first time round this is the second link from the first post. Arthur Conan Doyle wrote Sherlock Holmes. but, check out some of the other authers i only just realised how good the link is

 

Actually it does, supposedly websites or companies need to gain the story owners permission before distributing it on a magazine cover disk or website

Have you?

Interesting, you can read books online!

 

I've read the Wizard of oz story many times when I was a small boy... I know the whole story.

 

I was in a special needs class when the book came out. Although I'm not anymore, suppose i could see about reading it. Can read ok now.

Jimbob

 

Man, you must be old since these books came out from 1900 to 1910.... And all this time I thought you were a teenager.....

 

I mean when it was around, popular and when I was young enough to enjoy such a book.

Jimbob

 

Haha!.......Love it!
