Isle of Man stamp shows Dorothy’s ruby slipper from ‘The Wizard of Oz’

By Denise McCarty
The Isle of Man’s Christmas stamps issued Oct. 20 honor the British holiday tradition of pantomime.
The Isle of Man Post Office said: “Across the British Isles each winter professional and amateur performers take to the stage to keep the panto tradition alive. It has become as much a part of Christmas as the tree and turkey.”
