Customer Reviews

Classic story presented beautifully

The story of the Blue Bird is the base on which the Wizzard of Oz was written and is a beautiful yet realistic story of two children's dreams. It has hidden meanings in its story and truths which are often denied to children, while the images and the character lines are colourful and imaginative. This hard cover edition reinforces the gracefulness and authenticity of the author's story.

Disregard Bad Review (?)

It looks like there was a mix-up with the negative review by Mr. Keehn. I believe this is a children's picture book by the wonderful illustrator, Brian Wildsmith. Mr. Keehn is reviewing a play by someone else entirely.
