New Munchkin Books Series Featuring Tales from The Wizard of Oz Announced

A New Book Series Authorized By Original Cast Member

Author, Mike Ernst brings The Munchkins back to life 

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- An all-time classic movie, The Wizard of Oz, is receiving lots of renewed attention with the amazing success of the movie release of "Wicked." But the only authorized children's book series to be approved by an original cast member is now out. One-time Munchkin, Jerry Maren, had inspired and blessed the books by toy inventor Michael Ernst before he died at the age of 98.

Maren, who played one of the Lollipop Kid Munchkins in the celebrated 85-year-old film, met Ernst at a toy fair in New York City some years ago.

Ernst became inspired to become a storyteller after meeting Maren. The book series was conceived out of their discussions. Ernst published his first book three years ago and the second book of the series was released this fall.

Readers will learn how Dorothy's house landed on the Wicked Witch of the East, the Good Witch of the South, the real Wizard of 0z and a Warlock, the brother of the evil witches, and of some Munchkin teenagers that take a deadly journey.

"There is an endless fascination with the Wizard of Oz, particularly the plight of the Munchkins," says Ernst. "Now, for the first time, their story can be told, as envisioned by an original Munchkin."
