the history of oz prior to "the wonderful wizard of oz" (often called the prehistory of oz as it takes place before baum's "histories") is often the subject of dispute, as baum himself gave conflicting accounts. in "the wonderful wizard of oz", the title character recounts that he was a ventriloquist and a circus balloonist from omaha, and during one flight the rope for his parachute vent became tangled, preventing him from descending until the next morning, and he awoke to find that he was floating over a strange land. when he landed, the people thought he was a great wizard because of his ability to fly. he did not disabuse them of this notion, and with his new power over them, he had them build a city with a palace in the center of oz. he also ordered them to wear green glasses so it would appear to be made entirely of emeralds. however, in the later oz books the city is depicted as actually being made of emerald or other green materials. the wizard was a young man when he first arrived in oz, and grew old while he was there. afraid of the wicked witches of the west and the east, who, unlike him, could do real magic, the wizard hid away in a room of his palace and refused to see visitors. he lived in this way until the arrival of dorothy in the first book.
