La principessa perduta di Oz

The characters feel so vivid and unique — I wonder what inspired Baum to create them the way he did and how they fit into the larger Oz universe.

The book has such a warm tone that made the journey feel fun and safe. I’m curious if Baum aimed for a specific mood or if it just evolved naturally.

Her journey of discovery was compelling, but I’m wondering if her character development resonated with others and what it says about identity.
