The Wonderful Wizard of Oz I have a passion for tales of adventure. Besides thrilling times, they bring us valuable lessons in inspiring manner. “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” is a tale like that. Life is a journey, not a destination: The Scarecrow believes that he has no brains. The Tin Woodman believes that he lacks of heart. The Lion believes that he is a coward. They all go to the Emerald City and ask Wizard of Oz for what they want – wisdom, love and courage. Always thinking of them and self-reminding, they really get them through their journey. Belief and how important it is: They still lack belief in themselves. But they believe in Wizard of Oz. He just uses simple ways to make them fulfilling. Dorothy is a line which creates story and connects characters. She always knows what really important to her and never forgets her main purpose. “No matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. There is no place like home." Dorothy. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a best-known children's novel written by L. Frank Baum and considered as American Fairy Tale. I watched 1939 film version and had no impression at all. But when I read this book, I am completely intrigued from beginning to end. I can image a marvelous Land of Oz-sweeping landscapes, unique creatures, and miracle things. Fantasy children's novels have ability of enrich our soul and imagination.
