The Wizard of Oz: The stolen ruby slippers - a podcast by BBC World Service

The ruby slippers from the 1939 movie 'The Wizard of Oz' are some of the most treasured film memorabilia of all time. There are thought to be four pairs from the film that have survived.

This is the story of the slippers that were stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in Minnesota, USA in 2005.

John Kelsch is one of the people who started the museum. He tells Gill Kearsley the story of the stolen slippers.
