Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In the preface to Dorothy and the Wizard in 02 I said I would like to write some stories that were not 02 stories, because I thought I had written about 02 long enough; but since that volume was published I have been fairly deluged with letters from children imploring me to write more about Dorothy, and more about Oz, and since I write only to please the children I shall try to respect their wishes.
