Description
Discover the story behind The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the iconic film that brought a beloved tale to life. This novel tells the story of Maud Gage Baum, the intrepid wife of author L. Frank Baum, and her efforts to ensure that his masterpiece was adapted faithfully for the screen. As soon as she learns that MGM is adapting her late husband's book for the screen, Maud sets about trying to secure a place on the set. Nineteen years after Frank's passing, Maud is the only person who can help the producers stay true to the spirit of the book. But when she hears Judy Garland rehearsing the first notes of "Over the Rainbow," Maud recognizes the yearning that defined her own life story. Maud resolves to protect Judy, just as she tried to protect the real Dorothy, a young girl who inspired The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This is a heartwarming and thought-provoking novel about the power of storytelling and the enduring legacy of a beloved tale.
