  55. <center><h1><i>Introduction</i></h1></center>
  56. <li>This is Baum's original introduction to his first book of the Oz series.
  57. <p>Folk lore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.</p> <p>Yet the old-time fairy tale, having served for generations,
  58. may now be classed as "historical" in the children's library; for the time has come for a series of newer "wonder tales" in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incident devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder-tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident.</p> <p>Having this thought in mind, the story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" was written solely to pleasure children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heart-aches and nightmares are left out.</p>
  59.  
  60. <center>L. Frank Baum.</center>
  61. <br><center>Chicago, April, 1900.</center><p><br>
  62.  
  63. <p>In the 120 years since L. Frank Baum wrote his first Oz story, there really have been a lot of sequels and retellings, including first his own. For 20 years he continued to write sequels, adaptions, stage plays even movies. After his death, others continued creating sequels, plays. Of course there was the great movie The Wizard of Oz in 1939. There have continued to be plays, movies, stories written right to the present.
  64. <p>One thing though. Not a single one reconciles perfectly with the original story, and hardly any even by the same author truly reconcile. The 1939 movie for example has Glinda the good witch meeting Dorothy. No mention is made of a little sweet old lady good witch. And of course, neither gives an understanding of the layout of Oz with a map, though the book gives a good description. The book seems to imply an eight or nine year old Dorothy, but the movie makes her around fifteen. The younger Dorothy seems more a natural born Princess heroically mature for her age and size. The older Dorothy is also good and sweet. Many smaller details also differ, and simply remain unreconciled.
  65. <p>The mid 1990's book, Wicked, gives the Wicked Witch of the West's point of view, tenderly, roughly, sincerely, and apparently truly. It successfully humanizes her. But again, the problem of reconciling with the original story, and with the 1939 movie presents itself even greater. This story is told in a much more adult fashion, mainly for adults, but as sadly to say, today's more sophisticated older children also. A mixed thing. Many of them get it. Wicked's stories describe a much more detailed Oz map, though true it is, Baum's further stories create a more complete Oz world. Again, none perfectly reconcile, mesh.
  66. <p>One more thing; Uncle Henry and Aunt Em need more story, and how did Dorothy end up an orphan? Seems to me we backstepped quite nicely some decades to before Elphaba was born, and the same could be done for Dorothy's family, possibly moving along nearly simultaneously. So for instance if the cyclone was during tornado season 1899, a then 10 year old Dorothy would have been born in 1889. If Elphaba was 27 when 10 year old Dorothy arrived in Oz, in 1899 civilized world time, then Elphaba was born in 1872, civilized world time. Though the measuring of years is reconned differently, the relative times move at the same pace, at least as I see it.
  67. <p>Some few years before 1872 then becomes a good starting date. Em and Henry would  be newlyweds, Dorothy's parents, a few years younger, would be courting, and there could be the story of the Kansas farm's start. Maybe Henry has a slightly older brother who helps them all get started, then goes away, and arrives back to help Henry and Em rebuild. See? A lot of blanks to fill in, and story to reconcile. Let us reconcile the Wizard. One tv series has him as a man who has that disease tyrants get. I would like to see a cure for that disease.

  80. <p><b>A few years after </b>the great and awful civil war and conflagration, two young lovers found each other when their wagons both broke while on their way to California. Though they felt they had gone far, they had much farther to go. Young Henry Gale, earnest and stolid in his way, and Emelie, Em, plain and beautiful in her way, worked to fix their wagons together. While doing so, Henry thoughtfully suggested "Em, we can make one good wagon out of two broken wagons." Em stood by the broken axle she was trying to fix, and set her eyes to gaze at the entire horizon and listened to Henry's speech. He but rarely put that many words together. Em closed her eyes and furrowed her brow before finally speaking a reply, while Henry applied rendered hog fat to the wheel he was fixing. This he stopped doing while Em said, "For some reason, the last Indians we saw traded kindly with us. While the both of us still have our few cattle and hogs, why don't we just build here, where there is no, not any person in sight besides us and your brother." Henry's eyes looked at Em admiring her for her wordology. See, Em could read, and she was real sensible. So Henry replied, "Em, that there is a real good plan, so let's plan the details of this."
