The Wizard of Oz

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I? last line from Over the Rainbow, soundtrack from The
The Wizard of Oz.


The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children's novel written by L. Frank Baum, illustrated by W.W. Denslow. It was originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900. It has since been reprinted countless times, most often under the name The Wizard of Oz, which is the name of both the 1902 stage play and the extremely popular, highly acclaimed 1939 film version, directed by Victor Fleming with Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale . The story is about a girl named Dorothy Gale who was swept away to a magical land in a tornado and embarks on a quest to see the Wizard who can help her return home.

Back to the year 1996-1997, my eldest daughter, Foil was an AFS exchanged student to Manhattan, Kansas, USA. Upon completion of an exchanged programme, her friend Irlanda gave this music snowglobe to her. It's now one of my favourite collectibles.
