Within this storyline there’s a focus, subplot if you like, on Maud’s sister, Julia, and I thought this was so interesting, it showed a great contrast of the lives two sister who were raised by the same mother can end up living.

Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as “historical” in the children’s library; for the time has come for a series of newer “wonder tales” in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Today is publication day for Finding Dorothy, the latest novel from Elizabeth Letts and I was delighted to receive an early copy of this book which tells the story of Maud Gage Baum, the wife of Frank L Baum, author of The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz.Gripping, fascinating, this is a novel for anyone who ever stared in awe as Oz came to life on screen, and wondered what other secrets lay hidden behind the curtain. A woman with a heart, a brain, courage to spare and a girl's sense of wonder-this is the heroine of Elizabeth Letts's sparkling, touching Finding Dorothy .
