Best Answer

Yes, your novel may mention all of the characters in 'The Wizard of Oz', and also in the other books of the royal histories series by author Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919]. The lifetime of the author plus 50 years after the author's death is the legal copyright protection given to the work published during the author's life. A fifty year copyright protection from the date of publication is the legal arrangement for a work that's published after the author's death.
