About the Author
Dorothy Gilman (1923-2012) was the author of 14 Mrs. Pollifax novels, including The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax, the series debut; Mrs. Pollifax Pursued; Mrs. Pollifax and the Lion Killer; Mrs. Pollifax, Innocent Tourist; and Mrs. Pollifax Unveiled. She was also the author of many other novels, among them Thale's Folly.
Dorothy’s ultimate fate is framed by a restrictive definition of femininity. She intends to go back to Kansas with the Wizard, but the balloon becomes prematurely unmoored and the Wizard, concluding his fall from omniscience by yelling he doesn’t know how the balloon works, floats away. As Dorothy fights off despair, Glenda reappears and tells her that she may simply tap the heels of the Ruby Slippers together three times and go home. Again, as in the case of her friends, this capacity was always within her grasp. But Dorothy’s return to sepia-toned Kansas entails the loss of the slippers as well as the vibrant technicolor of Oz. Her loss of the slippers and the broader draining of the environment represents a yielding up of something flamboyant and at least prospectively sexual. This impression of loss is strengthened by her exquisitely sentimental final affirmation “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t go looking any further than my own back yard, because if it isn’t there, it isn’t anywhere. Oh, Auntie Em, there’s no place like home!” Her revelation coincides with an oath of allegiance to domesticity.
It is said to have a unique sound that resonates with the power of the ocean, creating a mesmerizing and hypnotic experience for those who listen. However, it is important to note that the piano is not easily accessible, and only a select few have had the opportunity to play it. The piano's curse is said to bring both blessings and curses to those who play it. It is believed that those who are skilled enough to play the piano will be rewarded with untold riches and success in their surfing endeavors. However, those who are not deserving or who do not show the proper respect for the piano can face grave consequences. Some stories speak of surfers who were consumed by waves or suffered other misfortunes after disrespecting the piano. The rare surf curse piano has become the subject of many legends and tales, with surfers and musicians alike seeking it out in hopes of unlocking its secrets. It remains a symbol of the deep connection between humans and the power of the ocean. Whether the piano is truly cursed or simply a work of art and craftsmanship, its allure and mystery continue to captivate and inspire those who seek it..
