THE WE AND THE WEE AND THE WIZARD OF OZ, OH MY!

The Bill
Memorial Library, 240 Monument Street in the City of Groton, will present The
We and the Wee and the Wizard of Oz, Oh My! on Monday September 23 at 7pm. Join David
D.J. Rau, Director of Education & Outreach at the Florence Griswold Museum,
as he explains the thought process behind this year's Wee Faerie Village in the Land of Oz. Combining
both the enchantment of “wee faeries” and the classic story of The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, this year’s event is
expected to draw both fans of faerie house creations and the archetypal story
of Oz. Visitors travel the grounds to discover a faerie-sized
version of Baum’s original 24 chapters – from Kansas to the Emerald City and
back. David and the rest of the staff at the Museum are looking forward to
welcoming visitors on this exploration of art, American literature, and
history. The program is free and open to the public.
