If you've never read it, you've seen the Judy Garland movie or the Michael Jackson and Diana Ross remake—the story of the girl who's transported to the land of Oz by a whirlwind is part of our children's literature canon.
But the story from 1900 could use a makeover, so Margaretha van Andel has taken the text under her literary skilled hands and turned it into a sparkling adventure with this retelling. And Marieke Nelissen breathed new life into all the characters (yes, they are all there:Doortje and her dog Toto, the cowardly lion, the scarecrow and the tin forester – and of course a lot of Munchkins and other creatures) with her paint and brushes. .
