Synopsis
Kathleen Krull shares the story of L. Frank Baum with her usual penchant for interesting, honest details and fine writing. Raised in a wealthy family, Baum had a series of fascinating business failures--chicken breeder, actor, window dresser, editor--before becoming a children's book writer, creating an original fantasy world in which a little girl was the heroine. Krull rightly notes that the Oz books were the early 20th-century's equivalent of Harry Potter. With Kevin Hawkes's rosy illustrations.
