This book also seems to follow Joseph Campbell's a "Hero with a thousand faces" / "monomyth" theme. "To see The Wonderful Wizard of Oz simply as Dorothy's quest for a way to return to Kansas is to miss many of the sources of the books strength, for like most quest heroes, Dorothy achieves far more than simply finding her way home."[80] "The Wizard of Oz follows the course of the hero's journey in the structure of “Departure,” “Initiation,” and “Return” which Campbell describes in The Hero with a Thousand Faces".[81]
