you know when i was a kid i HATED the wizard of Oz it freaked me out something wrotten, especially those wheely men *shivers* they r so horrible and in the return of oz the witch with all those heads - man it was like a living nightmare. What was Mr Baum trippin on when he wrote this i will never know but it is sure up there with Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland - how on eart did these become CHILDREN'S classics?
