Author description

L. Frank Baum, born in Chittenango, NY, in 1856, began writing at the age of forty. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was the first of his fourteen full-length Oz novels, all of which are available in handsome gift editions from Books of Wonder/HarperCollins. W. W. Denslow was born in 1856. Famous for his colorful illustrations for many popular turn-of-the-century children's books, he is best remembered as the original illustrator of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
