Kindness. Wisdom. Courage. Those are the three things that L. Frank Baum’s most famous children’s book, The Wizard of Oz, is about. Those three things and, of course, the ever-important lesson that home really is where the heart is. I eventually dug into Baum's children's classics at the age of 18 and was mesmerized by the teachings and the values that he inculcate in his books. And those values are reaching the children in the best possible way.

I grew up adoring the Hollywood film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz starring the ethereal Judy Garland and have been dying for the moment I’d open America’s first fairytale ever since my mom bought it for me when I urged her at the PTM. PTM was the only time and the place where I explore the books at the book fair. Many Indians can relate to me right now.

It is a lovely tale to tell you the truth, and it’s because (perhaps as an adult looking back) you can see very easily the point of Baum’s story. The Scarecrow, the Lion, and the Tin Man didn’t need brains, courage, or a heart – they developed all of those things themselves along their journey. The Scarecrow devises the plans to get to the gorgeous Emerald City; the Lion always stands up for his friends; and the Tin Man is so kind that he is sure to never step on an ant. They had all those things within them – they just needed the chance to practice them. And as far as little Dorothy’s concerned, she learns one big lesson. That being; home is where the heart is; where your family is; where you’ll be missed. Though in the book Dorothy is never intent on leaving, she still learns the lesson that once home is taken from you, or you leave it quite unexpectedly, you’ll miss it and you’ll long to go back for it.

The Wizard of Oz, then, is a brilliant book for some light reading – even as an adult. For fans of the film, it’s a wonderful little trip back to the Emerald City. And for young readers, it’s a few life lessons that, as you grow older, will begin to make much more sense. I adore this book as it is filled with my most cherished memories of childhood. And whenever I read it I somehow go to my past.

Thank you Everyone for staying up till Last.

Bye And Take Care.

A Thousand Splendid Suns - By Khalid Hosseni

A Thousand Splendid Suns - By Khalid Hosseini Genre - Fictional, Historical, Classic Rating - 5/5 Pages - 372 A book that ripped the hearts of almost many readers including me. This book gives us the feeling of gratitude, family, love, affection, feminism, and a lot more. It is beautifully written by the author Khaled Hosseini. He is indeed a storyteller. Khaled Hosseini born March 4, 1965, is an Afghan-American novelist, UNHCR goodwill ambassador, and former physician. His debut novel The Kite Runner (2003) was a critical and commercial success; the book and his subsequent novels have all been at least partially set in Afghanistan and have featured an Afghan as the protagonist. He unfolds the story very well. Here is a glimpse of the book as a summary. A Thousand Splendid Suns is set in Afghanistan from the early 1960s to the early 2000s. Mariam, a young girl in the 1960s, grows up outside Herat, a small city in Afghanistan. Mariam has complicated feelings about her parents: She ...
