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

The Road to Oz: Twists, Turns, Bumps, and Triumphs in the Life of L. Frank Baum by Kathleen Krull
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. When she was 15, this author was fired from her job at the library for READING too much! Find out more about Kathleen Krull and all of her books here.
