A lot of folks love their Disney Princesses. That’s fine. My favorite princesses all hail from Oz. Only Ozma was born into royalty and she spent most of her childhood as a commoner boy. Dorothy Gale, Trot and Betsy Bobbin were all regular American girls with aptitudes for adventure.

“Couldn’t the Wizard give you a heart that was both Kind and Loving?” asked the boy.
“No; that was what I asked for, but he said he was so short on hearts, just then, that there was but one in stock, and I could take that or none at all. So I accepted it, and I must say that for its kind it is a very good heart indeed.”

An illustration is a moment captured. Without context we interpret it based on our own musings and prejudices. But without context we never know if our interpretations are correct. Is this man falling? Is this man rising? Is this man dancing on air? Is this a man?
