dans une bien curieuse contrée... Ici, les sorcières ressemblent à des fées, les arbres sont doués de parole et les rêves les plus fous se réalisent. A condition, bien sûr, de les formuler devant le Grand Magicien d'Oz. Se lançant à la recherche du mystérieux personnage, la fillette croise en chemin l'Epouvantail sans cervelle en Fer-Blanc et le Lion Poltron, qui ont eux aussi une demande de la plus haute importance à présenter au Magicien... Un conte merveilleux, à la fois inquiétant et primesautier, au charme envoûtant. Magistralement adapté au cinéma en 1939, il est devenu un classique du genre.

Lubbock's been around for well over a century now. It's risen from a dusty little farm town to a thriving metropolis. It's seen its share of death, and it's been said many of the departed didn't want to leave. Or perhaps they had no choice. There is much we don't know about death and dying, for those who experience it firsthand aren't able to share those experiences. Many people are skeptical about the existence of ghosts and spirits. However, that's only because they haven't experienced a sighting first-hand. Those who've seen a ghost for themselves very quickly become believers. In any event, these are the stories of the souls left behind, told in the words of those who've seen, heard or felt them.

Route 66 once stretched from Chicago to southern California. It was the primary route thousands of victims of the dust bowl took in their quest to find jobs and to better their lives. It's the route made famous by Steinbeck's classic "The Grapes of Wrath." But Tom Joad and his family were far from the only ones who traveled the road in desperation. Later, hundreds of thousands of others traveled the route for enjoyment. You or someone you know traveled the route. These days, sadly, much of the road has simply disappeared. When Interstate 40 was built it was built right over the top of many parts of Route 66. Many other parts were cut off and simply faded away. Eisenhower's dream of fast coast to coast automobile travel was a blessing to many. But it was a curse to many others who made their livelihood at one of the thousands of businesses which had sprung up along Route 66. Thankfully, many of the old hotels and restaurants and gas stations have survived. Some are still thriving. Most, though, have died. This book chronicles all of them: the dead, the barely getting by, the ones still enjoying success as a part of the famed "Route 66."
