it charms, casts a spell, but is not charming. Think of the relief you feel when Dorthy finds that OZ is just a regular man, and then again when she ends her strange journey and wakes up from a fever induced, and troubled dream. You feel the relief with her, because you feel you have been on a strange journey too. The contrast is brilliant.

As a child, before I saw W of Oz, I had nightmares that a wind, or tornado was going to pull me from my home and isolate me from the ones I needed so desperately to survive...I think it strikes a cord because many children have such terrifying fears. And how nice and reasurring it is to find out that such nightmarish situations can be handled with a cache of basic human values.

But I thank you for this post, it was nice to think of it again
