Description
From the outset, L. Frank Baum signals that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a “wonder tale” crafted for the children of his era. This enchanting story reflects the cultural landscape of its time, embodying the principles of Theosophy, a burgeoning spiritual movement that emerged in the late 19th century. Join us as we explore how Theosophical ideas are woven into the fabric of Baum’s beloved tale and what they reveal about the societal values and beliefs of that period.
