Review # 1 was written on 2017-09-18 00:00:00 Emmanuelle Oppeneau Many people know that L. Frank Baum is the author of the OZ series of children's novels, along with other classics of children's literature, such as THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS. Few people, however, also know that he was an actor, a songwriter, a newspaper editor, a filmmaker, a devoted family man, and much more besides! This biography brings LFB to life, with photos and maps, quotations from his family and friends, and summaries of -- and passages from -- LFB's writings. I've been a longtime admirer of LFB and his literary achievements, and this book only confirmed my admiration for this very talented and gifted man who has shared the joy of storytelling with millions of readers and moviegoers for over a century. I will continue to explore LFB's fantasy worlds and promote his writings to anyone and everyone who is young at heart!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-02 00:00:00 Helen Terry C-. children's, nonfiction, grade 6, Mom's stash, discard. Did not do justice to the story of Baum . One particularly distracting habit of the author(s) was to include the conversion (in parentheses) of each standard unit of measurement to metric. Choosing one would have been sufficient.
