The Wizard of Oz - Art Portrait

The Wizard of Oz is America's greatest fairy tale, and Oz is its best-loved fairyland. Oz has remained triumphant for over three-quarters of a century, in a long series of books; in three stage plays by L.Frank Baum; and in movies stretching back to the earliest days of silents through Metro Goldwyn Mayer's 1939 triumph, The Wizard of Oz, starring Judy Garland.

Wizard of Oz - Art Portrait

A incalculable influence Oz has had on the American imagination. L. Frank Baum discovered Oz in 1900, when The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was first published. He was born in 1856 at Chittenango, New York, where his father had made a fortune out of oil. Young Frank was a stage author, manager, and actor before his marriage. Then he sold axle grease, managed a newspaper and variety store in South Dakota, and traveled for a crockery firm before he became successful as a children's author. In The Wizard of Oz, he created an American fairyland with a Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Cowardly Lion - and a heroine, Dorothy Gale of Kansas, in whom his child readers recognized themselves.

In 1904, Oz resurfaced with The Marvelous Land of Oz - a series that Baum tried to end in 1910 with the sixth book, The Emerald City of Oz, by cutting off contact between Oz and the real world. But contact was reestablished in 1913, and thereafter, a new Oz book by L. Frank Baum appeared each year through 1920. In 1903,

The Wizard of Oz became the most successful Broadway play till that time; in 1910, it became a one reel silent movie; and in 1914, Baum's own Oz Film Manufacturing Company produced several feature length Oz silent movies, L. Frank Baum died in 1919 at his home in Hollywood, California. The story of Oz did not end with Baum's death. Baum's publishers contracted with Ruth Plumly Thompson to continue the series, and a new Thompson Oz book appeared every year from 1921 through 1939. Then John R. Neill, who had illustrated all the Oz books but The Wizard of Oz itself, added three books to the series. Later volumes appeared at intervals through 1963, when the fortieth Oz book was published.
