Wonderful ‘Wizard’ collection
K.C. woman devotes room to Oz
Kansas City, Mo ? There is no place like Jane Albright’s home to find as much memorabilia on “The Wizard of Oz.”
The 45-year-old Kansas City, Mo., woman has a 12-by-15-foot room devoted to Oz. Her collection includes dolls, toys, games, housewares, vintage clothing, figurines, record albums, pop-up books and multiple editions of L. Frank Baum’s books.
Albright’s collection will be featured on “Home and Away” this week.
Albright became interested in “The Wizard of Oz” as a child, when her mother read Oz books to her. She joined the International Wizard of Oz Club and attends Oz conventions.
Cathy Hamilton is host of “Home and Away.”
