This was a great story to read. I grew up watching The Wizard of Oz but I had never heard of anything that happened in this story, history wise. It was nice to get the background of Frank, the writer of the book. Maud, was a tenacious woman! I loved her commitment and dedication to hey husband. She was a force to be reckoned with trying to get as much of the spirit of the book into the movie. I love her want and desire to proctect young Judy when she saw how awful everyone treated her on the set.
