What does Everybody Think of the WOOZ?
I really liked this book. It's been a while since I read it, so I'd have to go back and re-read it, but I remember being so shocked that Dorothy was originaly blonde! P.G.7.

The Wizard of Oz as Allegory
I recently learned this, and it has inspired a new respect in me for L. Frank Baum. The Wizard of Oz is, possibly, an allegory for, among other people doing the same thing, the bankers screwing the farmers in 1900-1910. For any of you who want more information on the subject http://www.amphigory.com/oz.htm has a lot of information on it. Your thoughts would be interesting to me. I would also like to know if any of you have any other such books to recommend to me. Stuff like Gulliver's Travels, The Wizard of Oz, and The Phantom Tollbooth, except not them because I've read them.
