The Wizard Of Oz. 11: The Wonderful Emerald City Of Oz

You've seen the movie: now listen to the book and enjoy all its similarities and differences! It is the source material, not just for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, but for contemporary movies like Wicked and Wicked: For Good.

In the latest chapter of L Frank Baum's beloved story, the four travelers finally gain an audience with the Wizard. Fascinatingly, though, each sees a different manifestation of Oz, who is able to appear in different guises. He gives them the same instructions, however.

L Frank Baum openly admitted to being influenced by Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking Glass. If you're enjoying The Wizard of Oz, you may enjoy these stories too, both narrated by me on Insight Timer.

Both are available, complete, on playlists. Download the Wizard of Oz playlist too, and listen to the tracks seamlessly. Tracks are added as they are published.

Wonder why everything and everyone is green? I know its the Emerals City but could it be a satirical comment on conformity? Baum was certainly not one! Thanks Mandy 🙏🏻

I got as far as everything - that’s
E V E R Y T H I N G - is green! And then don’t remember much else. So I’ll give it another listen. Thanks again, Mandy, for your excellent reading!
