Michael McCurdy's richly evocative scratchboard drawings and wood engravings grace more than 160 books for children and adults alike. One of the best-known and most-read books in the world, it is still considered "the quintessential American fairy tale." The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, however, remains the most popular and enduring of all. In all, he produced fourteen full-length Oz books. From his first published book for children, Mother Goose in Prose (1897), until his last, Glinda of Oz (1920), he produced a rich array of fairy tales, fantasy, and whimsy for the reading pleasure of millions of Americans, young and old alike. Frank Baum (1856-1919) is one of America's great literary treasures. ![]()
