not so ruby red

did you know that in the original novel "the wizard of oz", that the ruby red slippers worn by dorothy were not in fact ruby red? they were actually silver. since wyatt was in the production at school last semester as the tin woodman, we decided he wanted to read the book at home. he is uncovering many differences such as this...for instance the scarecrow and the tinman were the size of the munchkins. these changes made in the movie, of course, do not sit well with him! but how adorable did he look as the tinman!!
