They are also both fairly serious works – by which I mean that they both clearly have a thing or two to say about the state of America in the 1930s. They are both brilliant pieces of literature that have been read and loved by many millions of people. ![]() Both novels focus on the lives of simple, poor farm labourers in the 1930s, and the hardships that they face. Years ago I read what are probably John Steinbeck’s two most famous novels, Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath. Now, a few weeks previous to this, my brother-in-law had mentioned that he had really enjoyed reading John Steinbeck’s novel Tortilla Flat, so when I found a copy for sale at Hunting Raven Books I snapped it up. During the weekend, we visited the pretty town of Frome, where (along with some great cafés) we found a great little independent bookshop named Hunting Raven Books.

The plot itself was pretty interesting too, because it basically centred around a bunch of characters teaming up to try to track down Ozma, who’s gone missing. When Princess Ozma and all the magic of the Land of Oz are mysteriously stolen away, Dorothy and the. The fact that this one centres on Dorothy and friends instead of just bringing them in at the end to say hello made for a much more engaging read. I think part of that is because the last few books have just felt as though Baum was just shoehorning Oz in, rather than using the land and his original cast of characters to their full extent. ![]() Luckily, this one brought things back up, although not quite to their former levels.
