My first memory as a child is of hiding behind the curtain in our living room, watching "The Wizard of Oz" on television on Christmas Day. I was behind the curtain because of the unpredictable and sudden appearances of the utterly terrifying Wicked Witch of the West. Although nowadays I can watch the film without needing a curtain on standby, that witch still epitomises screen villainy for me and has a timeless appeal.
I wanted to introduce the story to my four-year-old daughter and found this book a perfect bridge between the film and the full novel, which is too dark for her age group. For this Munchkin and her mother, it has been a big hit. It simplifies the story well, without straying into saccharin sweetness and the illustrations perfectly capture the quirkiness of the characters and their adventures. This book has also gone down well with several of her friends as presents, and has inspired games of "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" on the paving slabs in the back garden.
