Smithsonian - The Origins of Oz [DVDrip]...Ctiger

L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz" is an American treasure, giving the world some of fiction's most beloved characters and inspiring pop-culture's most iconic pair of shoes, now preserved at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. But how did this classic children's fantasy come to be?

The Origins Of Oz pulls the curtain back on L. Frank Baum and reveals how the events and people in his life helped from the first genuinely American fairytale. Discover who Dorothy was modeled after, why a scarecrow and a tin man served as main characters, how the 1893 Chicago World's Fair sparked the conception of Emerald City, and much more.

Filmed at the locations that inspired the Land of Oz, and featuring interviews with authors, artists, fans, and members of Baum's family, The Origins Of Oz tells the story behind the story, how this wildly popular book was written, and the man who had the heart, the brains, and the courage to write it.
