If anyone reads any story about Paul Revere, they will see that Palin is very much mistaken about him. He warned the Americans that the British were coming, the British were coming and they’re gonna try to take our arms…” and that, “part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there that, hey, you’re not gonna take American arms…” To add fuel to the fire, Palin has defended her mistake by claiming that she did not get the story wrong and in all actuality, “here’s what Paul Revere did. Revere did not ring a warning bell, nor did he fire warning shots that night. Many Americans were surprised to hear how Revere, according to Palin, “warned the British that they weren't gonna be taking away our arms, by ringing those bells and making sure, as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots that we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free." This isn’t the version of the story most of us are familiar with, and Palin has drawn a certain amount of heat from the press for her mis-history. Sarah Palin has drawn a lot of attention recently for her retelling of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. Steel is seen as political, as are books. And that’s not the only thing outlawed by the government.

I should know all about how to survive monsters though, I come from a family of them. The worst of these dreams-and the worst of my adulthood-I had late in the process of writing what would become “20 Simple Steps to Ventriloquism” ( bit.ly/3gn2BlB). Airports and airplanes have throughout my life figured into my dreams-usually in an ominous if not disastrous sense. This sequence haunted me for decades and, of course, was horribly echoed on September 11th, 2001. I was just in time to watch the lead character, played by Richard Burton, bring a jet airliner down into a city skyline simply by staring at it. When I was a boy, I caught part of a horror/disaster film called The Medusa Touch at my grandmother’s house. The idea of an airline disaster goes back to old dreams and nightmares. Although it’s not particularly similar, this story reminds me of the Richard Matheson story “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.” Was this or the subsequent Twilight Zone adaptation inspiration, or did something else inspire the story?Īny similarity to that story (and the famous, subsequent adaptations) is a coincidence, though the setup is almost identical (a man with a fear of flying is on an airliner), so there may well be some unconscious borrowing going on. There are some new characters in this book that ought to win your live. In the preface to "Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz" I said I would like to write some stories that were not "Oz" stories, because I thought I had written about Oz long enough but since that volume was published I have been fairly deluged with letters from children imploring me to "write more about Dorothy," and "more about Oz," and since I write only to please the children I shall try to respect their wishes. Indeed, the wishes of my little correspondents have been considered as carefully as possible, and if the story is not exactly as you would have written it yourselves, you must remember that a story has to be a story before it can be written down, and the writer cannot change it much without spoiling it. Toto is in this story, because you wanted him to be there, and many other characters which you will recognize are in the story, too. Well, my dears, here is what you have asked for: another "Oz Book" about Dorothy's strange adventures.
