I came to the last chapter at last!:) Aunt Em hugged Dorothy, and the story ended happily.
Dorothy's famous ending phrase was "Oh, Aunt Em! I'm so glad to be at home again!" in this book. In the movie, it was "There is no place like home!" They have same meanings but the words themselves are different.
It didn't mention at all whether Aunt Em believed Dorothy's words that she was in Oz. In the movie "Return to Oz", Dorothy was sent to the asylum because Aunt Em and Uncle Henry didn't believe her story. How about it in the original story? Well, we'll be able to see it in the later books.
I've been an Oz fan for thirty years ever since I was a child. I read the series in Japanese before because I couldn't understand English very well. Now my English is better than before. I'd like to try to read the oz books in their original English versions, just little by little.
