Frank Baum's first Oz book titled The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900. The Silver Shoes (also called Silver Slippers) are fictional charmed items from the magical Land of Oz. "The Witch of the East was very proud of those silver shoes," said one of the Munchkins, "and there is some charm connected to them but what it is we never knew." ―ĭorothy Gale holds the Silver Shoes.

" Dorothy was going to ask another question, but just then the Munchkins, who had been standing silently by, gave a loud shout and pointed to the corner of the house where the Wicked Witch had been lying.

"Shod in Silver Shoes with pointed toes". There, indeed, just under the corner of the great beam the fallen house rested on, two stocking feet were sticking out from under a block of wood, and shod in silver shoes with pointed toes." ― "That is all that is left of the Wicked Witch of the East."

I have not killed anything in all my life!" Said Dorothy.

"The house began to pitch, the kitchen took a slitch, it landed on a Wicked Witch, in the middle of a ditch!" " You are very kind, but there must be some mistake.
