The Road to Oz: Twists, Turns, Bumps, and Triumphs in the Life of L. Frank Baum

|1 rating

Key item features

KATHLEEN KRULL’S LIVELY text traces the life of L. Frank Baum from his dreamy privileged childhood in mid-19th-century upstate New York through the many detours on his road to Oz. A failure as an actor, a breeder of prize chickens, a merchant in a wild west town, among other occupations, he finally made a success doing exactly what he had always loved to do: tell stories for children. Along the way, we see the antecedents of the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, green glasses, and other characters and attributes of the famous fantasy land. This is the first biography of L. Frank Baum that children can enjoy.

With the same verve she brought to her biography of Dr. Seuss, Kathleen Krull’s wry prose couples with Kevin Hawke’s exuberant paintings and drawings to create a book not to be missed by Oz fans of all ages.

Interesting Book

My daughter had a report book due and she had to write about a non fiction book. We were given three chooses and she decided on the Road of Oz. As she was reading the book...she would stop and say things that were interesting about Frank Baum and how Wizard of Oz became a book and movie. She was really happy in the end for reading & purchasing the book. It a smile that I will never forget.
