"It is a callous age; we have seen so many marvels that we are ashamed to marvel more; the seven wonders of the world have become seven thousand wonders."

A quotation from L. Frank Baum
When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young, pretty wife. The sun and wind had changed her, too. They had taken the sparkle from her eyes and left them a sober gray; they had taken the red from her cheeks and lips, and they were gray also. She was thin and gaunt, and never smiled, now.
L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) American author [Lyman Frank Baum]
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, ch. 1 (1900)More info about this quote: wist.info/baum-l-frank/79329/

L. Frank Baum - Handy Many
#books #literature #LFrankBaum -
The back stories of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good are the subject of "Wicked," now in movie theaters with a 90% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. @Smithsonianmag tells the true story of Matilda Gage, L. Frank Baum's mother-in-law, who inspired the witch characters in "The Wizard of Oz." "After male critics branded Gage as satanic and a heretic, she became an expert on the subject of witch hunts," writes Evan I. Schwartz. "Her 1893 manifesto 'Woman, Church and State' chronicled the five centuries between 1300 and 1800 when tens of thousands of human beings, mostly women, were accused of witchcraft and put to death by fire, hanging, torture, drowning or stoning."

"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is a #ballad written by English musician #EltonJohn and songwriter #BernieTaupin, and performed by John. It is the title track on John's album of the same name. The titular road is a reference to #LFrankBaum's #TheWizardOfOz film and book series. The song has been widely praised by critics; some consider it a strong contender for John's finest song ever. #RollingStone listed the song at No. 390 of its #500GreatestSongsOfAllTime in 2010.

Today I finished reading #TheWizardOfOz and I loved it. However tales always make me wonder about the level of violence they contain. Like cutting of the heads of 40 wolves? Starving a poor lion? Letting a house fall on a witch? Who thought „Wow, I want to write that story to read it to my kids for bedtime“?!
Also the scarecrow has my heart. What a lovely character. Definitely would recommend reading tales again as an adult - what a shift of perspective!
