The Wonderful World of Oz
The Wonderful World of Oz | L. Frank Baum
3 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
Lyman Frank Baum (1856-1919) is best known today as the author of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," a children's story written in 1900. But following the success of that book, Baum wrote thirteen other Oz stories before his death from a stroke in 1919. Moreover, Baum wrote dozens of other children's tales, plays, and general stories. He was extraordinarily prolific, churning out five books in the year 1907 alone. In addition to this immense body of work, Baum worked as a journalist, a printer, a chicken breeder, an actor, a theater manager, an oil salesman, a playwright, and many other equally esoteric occupations. Despite this litany of accomplishments, it is that one little story about a Kansas girl and her dog that people remember, and even that is due to the 1939 film adaptation with Judy Garland as Dorothy.

Just a reminder that it‘s almost the 1st of March, which means #MarchIntoOz ❤️Join me & the lovely @Lizpixie as we rock our way around the Month with some classic Aussie music. Spotify playlist is https://goo.gl/sZuCbs if you want some inspiration, or just want to blow your mind with some classic Aussie pub rock from the 70s to the Noughties.

Melissa_J My participation in these monthly photo challenges is definitely hit or miss, but I‘ll try to take part in this one when I can. I always have such good intentions to post, but then end up having failed miserably by the end 😬 7y
