Book : Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

Published in 1900, this book is simple. And I was surprised to see how dictatorial the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion ended up being. Hell, if Kansas's prairie dogs could talk, I bet Dorothy would have requested to become High Queen Ruler over them all. Damn.

Recommend? It's a perfect book to read on the throne!

It seems like in class the teacher said it was sometimes read as a metaphor for something, but I can't remember. It had something to do with government or the country or something. Oh! to remember!
