Book Reviews of L. Frank Baum: Creator Of Oz
Book Review: Master story teller at work
Summary: 5 Stars
A strength of this biography is in the author's inclusion of synopses of all Baum's major works. One gets a "Oz eye" view of Baum, his family, and his whole writing enterprise in just a few, easy to read pages.
I really liked the book and think anyone interested in Baum from a non-political viewpoint will enjoy it, too. The author is not into analyzing the political symbolims of Ozworld and its inhabitants.
I was not aware of all the other products of Baum's fertile mind. Nor was I really aware of his struggle for recognition in the publishing world.
All in all, a very good and brief read.
