Enchanting when read as a child. Whimsical nostalgia now., April 15 1999
By Charles S. Jensen "chazj" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lizard of Oz (Paperback)
I acquired this book sometime around the 1st grade. I'm not sure when I actually got around to reading it for the first time, but I have been enchanted ever since. Buy it for yourself or, if you need an excuse, to read to your children.
