Description: The creator of the Oz stories claimed that he ‘only wrote to please children and to generate an income for his family’.  But in 1912, Baum published a new fantasy work that vividly explored a world torn between two visions, one negative and violent and the other bright and hopeful.  While Baum may have been writing about contemporary conditions in America, he may also have been envisioning the kind of world future generations would have to choose.
