+ | {{Quote |Over the Rainbow, and many, many miles East of nowhere, lies the Magical [[Land of Oz]], a magnificent empire created in the mind of a man named [[L. Frank Baum]], who wrote a Wonderful and Marvelous book about it titled ''[[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]]'', the first American Fairytale. And like wildfire in a wheatfield, the spellbinding tale of Oz spread from town, to city, to nation, and captured the hearts of people young and old from all over the entire world. Even a century after it was first told, Oz is still as entrancing and intriguing as it was over one hundred years ago in 1900. And unlike many stories told throughout time, Oz hasn't lost it's ability to cause people from generation from generation to fall under it's spell. There are so many endearing characters to meet and places to go, fantastical adventures to have and enchanted inhabitants to encounter. So, just follow the [[Yellow Brick Road]], visit the [[Emerald City]] and click your heels in anticipation. The world of Oz awaits you!'''|}}The Wonderful Wiki of Oz! |
