The Blizzard of Osborn

Fiction EN ↓ 40 episodes

L. Frank Baum's classic children's story, The Wizard of Oz is refracted through the mirror of Miguel Ruiz's book, The Four Agreements. Instead of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion, four different characters set out on their own daunting quest. Like the original characters, each is unique, but in The Blizzard of Osborn, a little girl, a talking snake, a self-absorbed Eggman and a wrong-thinking donkey also embody aspects of Ruiz’s The Four Agreements.
