Ruby or not ruby? That is the question. And “NOT” is the shocking answer. The ruby slippers of movie fame are — according to the book — neither ruby nor slippers, but rather innocuous, though powerfully charmed, silver shoes of which the
Wicked Witch of the East was rumored to have been rather proud. Like another iconic movie image associated with the story, the seldom-mentioned-in-the-book road of yellow brick, Dorothy’s footwear seems to have succumbed to the glamour of Hollywood and suffered a bout of radically inflamed ego.
