The Oz books continue to exert their spell . . . and those who read [them] are often made what they were not-imaginative, tolerant, alert to wonders.-Gore VidalI was raised with the Oz books, and their enchantment, humor and excitement remain with me. They are still a joy and a treasure. I welcome this Oz revival.-Stephen R. Donaldson
