I own the silent film versions, Oliver Hardy is the Tin Man in some of them. The Scarecrow and Scraps are my favorite re-creations from the illustrations in those films, too. They look just like the artwork!

There are 40 canon stories of Oz, but there are hundreds of other Oz novels not considered canon (by the International Wizard of Oz Club, Inc.).

I wrote (and may have mentioned here) a book called "The Emerald Talismans of Oz," and want to publish it as soon as I discover what the copyrights are that surround the characters. It was for the 2000 publication of a 100th anniversary Oz book, written in 1998 for submission to the contest the IWOC held, but wasn't chosen. It's still a very great book and was even left with an open ending so as to write a sequel should I desire. Even as discriminating as I am about all of my work, I like this book.
