Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Dorothy lives a peaceful though dull life on the Kansas prairie with Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. When Dorothy and her dog Toto are carried off by a tornado to the land of Oz, magical adventures begin. To get back home, Dorothy must avoid the Wicked Witch and travel the yellow brick road with the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion to meet the Wizard of Oz. Each of the friends is searching for something; they face many dangers on their quest, while their answers may be closer than they think. This unabridged version of L. Frank Baum's classic childhood story was first published in the United States in 1900.

Oz in Germany: Alexander Volkov’s Der Zauberer der Smaragdenstadt
The Cultural Council decreed that realism and everyday scenarios were important in children's books, as were work and a connection to and responsibility for a collective. [...]homegrown East German literature matured, Russian-language literature was translated into the many languages of the Warsaw Pact nations, and publishing houses dedicated to the dissemination of Soviet literature into foreign countries existed in Moscow (Steinlein 687). [...]a reading of Alexander Volkov's The Wizard of the Emerald City within the context of socialist children's literature in the GDR deemphasizes the American influence or \"source\" of Baum's original tale and reveals the transcultural appeal of its emancipation narrative.

\There lived in the Land of Oz two queerly made men\: Queer Utopianism and Antisocial Eroticism in L. Frank Baum's Oz Series
As a land of marvels and fairies, L. Frank Baum’s Oz is a queer place. Within much of children's literature, the word queer typically refers to constructions of odd and marvelous events and places rather than to characters who are resistant to constructions of sexual (hetero) normativity. The dividing line between asexual and sexual queerness, however, can be quite blurry, and this essay explores how the fantasies of Oz subvert normative constructions of gender and sexuality. After analyzing gender and sexual roles in Oz, the essay concludes that the utopianism of Oz is counterbalanced by a queer eroticism that undermines the foundations of normative genders.
