The Slippers, which are Silver in the book The Wizard of Oz, and Ruby in the 1939 film version, are on the feet of the Wicked Witch of the East when Dorothy Gale's house lands on top of, and kills, her. A welcoming committee of Munchkins from the Blue Country of the East, and of the Good Witch of the North, greets Dorothy and her pet dog Toto. The Witch gives the Slippers to Dorothy. For the Slippers have the secret power to take the wearer to any destination. And so in three winks of an eye, with a stride for every wink, Dorothy and Toto leave the beautiful, enchanted, magical world of Oz. Dorothy awakes to find herself and Toto back in Kansas, but the Slippers gone. She thinks that the Slippers must have dropped into the desert, which surrounds Oz and thereby separates and protects its lands and peoples from the rest of the world.
