....Wizard of Oz , this classic tale from the imagination of L. Frank Baum owes it name from a filing cabinet...when a little girl ask him what is the the name of the magical land with scarecrow,tinman and the lion...he looked around in the room for inspiration and saw a filing cabinet with drawers labeled "A-G."H-N" and finally
"O-Z" and quickly answered OZ...so it was called the Wizard of Oz.!
....Wendy was invented by J.M. Barrie for Peter Pan play.The poet W.E. Henley',close friend of J.M. Barrie,had a daughter who always tries to imitate her dad when he refers to Barrie as "friend".She would say "fwend" or "fwendy-wendy.
Her expression lives on in the Peter Pan and all the wendys that have followed.
