#35 Finding Dorothy by Elizabeth Letts

Quote
A richly imagined novel that tells the story behind The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , the book that inspired the iconic film, through the eyes of author L. Frank Baum's intrepid wife, Maud--from the family's hardscrabble days in South Dakota to the Hollywood film set where she first meets Judy Garland.

A neat peak into some of the real life events that inspired The Wizard of Oz.
