I collected the Oz books as a child and still have some valuable editions. While I was far more into biographies, I did love his depiction of his idealized "fantasy land" which Wicked has really perverted.

NOPE. It may be wonderful. It may be a "don't miss." but I only wish the music was forgettable because it is on stupid commercials 24/7--and on tv, at least it comes of as a screeching unpleasantry. NOPE.
