The Wizard of Oz, The Great Humbug
The rescue of friends, the freedom of the winged monkeys, and a booming wizard who turns out to be a small kind man.
Retold for sleep from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, first published in 1900 and long out of copyright. The story is Baum's; every sentence here is our own.
Soft-spoken and slow, a bedtime-story hush, plain, warm, and easy to come back to.
