To be sure, the house crash was in the original book. The 1939 version didn't create it.
RtO seems to be a gestalt of the OZ Books and the 1939 film. From the MGM film, it uses the 'Kansas people/objects having counterparts in OZ' plot-point as well as the Ruby Slippers (they were Silver Shoes in the book). It appears to have followed the plotline, so I don't know if RtO Dorothy encountered Kalidahs, Field Mice, Living China dolls, Hammerheads, etc. Then again, the film acknowledges the Tin Woodman's gruesome origin, and the Magical Home flight that lost Dorothy her magic shoes in the Deadly Desert. On the other hand, its time period is more turn-of-the-century than the MGM film. Dorothy is younger and more accurate to the original book (although the sequels changed her hair from brown to blond). It establishes that OZ is a real place and not Dorothy's imagination.
