The chronicle of the monk Herbert of Reichenau for the year 1021 ends “My brother Werner was born on November 1.“
1021 was not an uneventful year. The emperor began a campaign into Italy. Illustrious abbots died. There was an earthquake. But Herbert took the time to note, at the end of the year, that his brother was born.
Of such acts of tenderness is history made.

OZ FUNFACT #3
Turns out that famous Bubble that Glinda floated into frame with in the 1939 adaptation actually originates as a magic trick of His majesty the Wizard!
Yo, but do them bubbles come in purple tho?

As I listen to the book series of Oz (some books for the first time and some for the third and fourth) I have started recognizing the fact that there are
A LOT
Of weird things in Oz.
And I figure that while I go through them all, I'm going to make record of all the weird things I hear and read.
For example.
Did anyone else remember cannibals??? BECAUSE I DIDN'T.
