– Tin ManĪ baby has brains, but it doesn’t know much. For brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.
No matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable. You don’t know how lucky you are not to have one. – Glinda the Good WitchĪs for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You’ve always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself. Because if it isn’t there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right? – Dorothy The book’s immense popularity probably lends itself, in part at least, to the fact that unlike the Victorian authors of children books, Baum’s intention was not to preach and moralize his young readers, but rather to entertain them By October 1900, the first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in ten thousand copies had completely sold out and the second edition of 15,000 copies was almost finished.If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own back yard. The reading craze that the book stirred at the turn of the 20th century is compared to that caused by J. Although the first copy came out of print on May 17, 1900, the book was not made available to the public until July the same year, when it premiered at a book fair at the Palmer House in Chicago. There are quite a few interesting facts to mention with regard to the book’s publication.
As to Dorthy herself, she learns that she can return to the magical land of Oz anytime she wants, even without the help of a tempest.
The important thing to mention here is that each of our friends gets what he wants not from the Wizard himself, but rather in the course the adventures they go through as a team.
