"The Silver Shoes...can carry you to any place in the world in three steps, and each step will be made in the wink of an eye. All you have to do is to knock the heels together three times and command the shoes to carry you wherever you wish to go."
- L. Frank Baum, author The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900)

Lewis, author The Last Battle (1956)
