I have all of the books, original 1917-era hardcovers, except the o.g. Wizard of Oz. Finally read that a few months ago. It tracks with the rest of the books but it's nothing like what people would want if they grew up only knowing the Judy Garland movie.

that said, they're pretty sexist (given the author's time period) and also sadly bereft of real conflict, aside from Glinda Of Oz and I guess Ozma's backstory. They'd be really disappointing as tv-episodes given the sheer amount of "wacky magical scene that has zero lasting impact haha cutsey whimsey" and lack of overarching plotline that isn't "Dorothy (or some other 8 year old girl) goes to a magical place." They were written for 8 year olds. They're dumb, plot-wise. I enjoy them as books set against the backdrop of the time period but they're not genius, they're dumb books for children who can't handle people being hurt more than a scratch on the hand.
