I'd never seen or heard of it before, but I knew it was special and fell in love with it right away. I bought it for $1.99. It's one of the prints from the late 50s. I can't wait to have it framed and hung up for all my nieces and nephews to explore. Thank you for sharing your stories. It makes the picture even more magical.KatieCorrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076563122251200441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-40745182740524381162018-03-24T20:24:01.138-04:002018-03-24T20:24:01.138-04:00It hung in my pediatricians office when I was litt...It hung in my pediatricians office when I was little. I too used to trace the paths. A few years ago I saw a similar picture in an oz exhibit. It obsessed me and I searched many combinations of words since I couldn't remember the title. Once I found it, I put out a Google alert of the title, found a copy at an online auction, and bought it. It's mint condition and gorgeous. I might see if a museum wants it, someone who will take care of it.

I ordered it and had it framed (yes as poor as we were) and my children loved it--hanging down low so they could see everything in it. <br /><br />My teaching career came to a halt when I became pregnant, but A Land Of Make Believe went in our daughters room and later her sisters. Now it is in a guest room when grandchildren come to visit the first daughter. I ordered one several years ago to have for future babies in this family.<br /><br />A wonderful, wonderful picture of childhood memories for a lot of children.<br /><br />Fanny Flaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619693469896164613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-84098170389091374412015-01-28T07:54:36.184-05:002015-01-28T07:54:36.184-05:00Zan, such a lovely recollection.

Every night, my dad would come in when we were ready for bed, and one of us would get to pick a character from the map. He would proceed to tell a tale completely unrelated to the classic fairy tale it represented. We would prompt for parts of the stories we liked, but Dad's tales came out unique in every retelling :-)Zanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14326942601542097124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-57861428576169865042013-07-04T17:34:54.614-04:002013-07-04T17:34:54.614-04:00Thanks Wendy!

I had one that was clearly inspired by it decades later called "As the saying goes…" A young reader could get lost exploring both. <br /><br />For Books of Wonder, Dick Martin produced a <a href="http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/oz/images/vc66.jpg" rel="nofollow">view of Oz</a> also clearly influenced by this artwork.J.

It hung in my mother's room when she was a child, it hung in my room until we moved out of our house of 17 years, and now it hangs in my son's room. My 22 month old is just now learning all the characters and shrieks with delight when he finds each one (it hangs over his diaper changing table in order to keep him occupied during an otherwise challenging task). I hope that my kids/grandkids enjoy this wonderful print as much as we did!<br /><br />-Darby (Marc's little sister)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
