Product Details


Product Description

Book Description

An anthology of writing inspired by The Wizard of Oz—the book or the movie. Each story, essay, or poem is no more than 99 words.


From the Publisher

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

The novel was published in 1900, as America was moving into a century that promised new technology and prosperity. The movie was produced in 1939, as America was stuggling to find Technicolor at the end of a gray decade.

This collection was written in 2001, a year of fear and technology gone haywire. Once again at the turn of a century, we foresee big changes. There is good out there, and evil, and sometimes it's hard to know which is which.

More than ever, we need brains. We need love. And courage. Most of all, we need a home.

—John M. Daniel, from the Foreword, Yellow Bricks & Ruby Slippers

5.0 out of 5 stars Rubies in the Land of Oz..., Mar 14 2002
By Kali "bengaligirl" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Okay so I am biased. I was lucky enough to be one of the mini authors in this delightful anthology containing an assortment of poems, short stories and quirkly little pieces that never go over the 99 word mark. Written partly as a dedication to the classic novel "The Wizard of Oz" this collection of easy to read shortlets (a great way to describe each piece)is wonderfully reminisent of an age long since past. Occasionally sentimental but never syrupy, this little book is pleasure to read, and it will have you giggling and crying in the same breath.
Yellow Bricks and Ruby Slippers might not be the best seller of the century but it is a wonderful little page turner that allows you momentarily to be nostalgic and enter a timeless world full of Munchkins, witches, dogs and little girls whose friends are scarecrows, cowardly lions and tin men who want a heart... If you are a "Wizard of Oz" fan this book will pique your funny bone and remind you that you too can click your heels and know that there is no place like home.
