Loved the letters you highlighted as your favorites, especially those to children from Schulz and Dahl, as well as Bradbury's letter to YOU. His reassurances about the Disney robots is priceless. <br /><br />I just bought a 1999 Centennial edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz from Amazon for my son, mainly because of the forward written by Ray Bradbury! (And I do LOVE the woodcut illustrations by Michael McCurdy.) <br />WendyLady@GoodBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884742120430546504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-31524277663139845712014-03-10T15:41:00.947+00:002014-03-10T15:41:00.947+00:00Thank you, Brian - your description of this book h...Thank you, Brian - your description of this book has prompted me to add it to my Amazon Wish List.<br /><br />Amazon seems rather confused as to what it's about.
