Dec 26, 2020EmilyEm rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
We follow the life of Maud Gage Baum, wife of 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' author L. Frank Baum, from her girlhood to marriage to the movie’s filming many years later. One snowy winter I read most of the Oz books when my then gynecologist discovered I was a Kansas girl. He had lots of children and these books were favorites. Work friends gave me the EmilyEm nickname, a version of my surname and Auntie Em’s. So, when I saw that this historical fiction had been published, it was a not-to-be-missed title for me. Very fun, although it lags a bit in places.
