Adaptation Overdosed: While the movie is better remembered, the book has a lot of adaptations ranging from comic books to film to cartoons made in Russia.
Creator Backlash: L. Frank Baum resented writing sequels to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and repeatedly tried to end the Oz series altogether. Several books end with firm declarations that he has told the reader everything there is to know about Oz, or that Oz has cut itself off from the rest of the world, and he can no longer give the reader new stories as a result. Yet Baum's other books never sold well, and for strictly financial reasons, he was forced to repeatedly return to the tired franchise.
