Audio Adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of OZ, Crown Publishers, Inc., 1961
OZ Fest
My home page has a link to the Eric Carle Museum in Amherst, MA. Carle is a children’s book illustrator and author, famous for The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Until October 22, the museum has an exhibit called “The Wonderful Art of OZ.” I’ve seen it and I recommend it highly. The exhibit includes about 20 original W.W. Denslow drawings from the first OZ book, and that should be incentive enough.
Starting with the next posting, I will begin an audio presentation of the 24 chapters in The Wonderful Wizard of OZ. The adaptation is from a 4-disk LP album published by Crown in 1961. My family received it as a Christmas gift from our maternal grandfather over 40 years ago.
… can you find it?
Here’s a quiz for my twinster Jean. Where have you heard this song?

The Incredible EVA•TONE
In an earlier posting I introduced Eva•tone Soundsheets. Forty years ago, Stan Lee of Marvel Comics put out a couple of flexi-discs. The first was “The Voices of Marvel,” and the other was “Scream Along with Marvel.” Face Front!
