The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Website
Wizard title page.jpg

Welcome to the incredible world of Oz. There is much to know about this wonderful land, and on these pages I hope to tell you a lot about it, and help you find out where to find out more. Oz first started as a book, which grew into an entire series. They were first written by one man, but others wrote more books after him, and more books are being added to the series even now. There have also been many movies (maybe you've seen one of them on television?), plays, television productions and videos, toys, games, dolls, clothes, conventions, clubs, and an international fan following. I hope all Oz fans and those who want to learn more can find something they like here. Just scroll down to see what is available for you.

This site is maintained by me, Eric Gjovaag, and is a continuous work-in-progress. Therefore, I will be changing and adding things all the time. Please keep coming by to see what I've done.
