The Wondeful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

https://levlaz.org/wicked-is-fan-fiction/

A delightful, short, and easy fairy tale that created a new universe of over 40 books, a hit movie, and Wicked — an even bigger hit musical based on fan fiction. This is the book that started it all. It’s fun to read even thought it contradicts both the movie and Wicked all over the place. This book really made me appreciate the power of retelling, reinterpreting, and remixing classic works.
