Folklore, Legenden, Mythen und Märchen sind der Kindheit durch die Zeiten gefolgt, denn jedes normale Kind hat eine gesunde und instinktive Liebe zu phantastischen, erstaunlichen und offenkundig unwirklichen Geschichten. Grimms und Andersens geflügelte Elfen haben kindlichen Herzen mehr Glücksgefühle beschert als alle anderen menschlichen Hervorbringungen. Doch das alte Märchen, das Generationen gedient hat, wird jetzt wohl als "historisch" in der Kinderbibliothek geführt.

"Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz" is the fourth book (among many!) set in the Land of Oz by author L. Frank Baum, published in 1908. Written shortly after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and around the time Baum moved to California, the book starts with an earthquake in California. Dorothy and others - such as Eureka (her cat), Zeb (her cousin) - are riding a buggy being pulled by a cab-horse named Jim, when suddenly they are swallowed up by cracks in the earth, and fall into an underground cavern, where they begin their adventures, including meeting a race of people made entirely out of vegetables... this will be the least strange part of this wonderful story!
