Title: A fascinating trip through revisionist history
Review: Even in fairy tales, it is the victorious who write the history books, so this is a wonderful 'revolutionary's' view of the Wizard of Oz stories. You must have an open mind when you pick up this book, but if you can hold open the door to your thinking, the story will soon grab hold of your imagination and take you to places and viewpoints you never dreamed possible from the Baum books or the MGM movie. Maguire's writing makes Oz and the characters come alive in a way that is so different and yet so 'right' ... Since first stumbling across this book in 1997, I have recommended this book to so many friends that I had to buy another copy! Just find a big comfy chair, grab a large cup of tea, and let yourself move on down the yellow brick road -- you may think you've been to Oz, but believe me -- you're not in Kansas anymore!
