The Woggle-Bug Book
''The Woggle-Bug Book'' is a 1905 children's book, written by L. Frank Baum, creator of the Land of Oz, and illustrated by Ike Morgan. It has long been one of the rarest items in the Baum bibliography. Baum's text has been controversial for its use of ethnic humor stereotypes. Background The book grew out of another promotional project, '' Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz'' (1904-5), a popular comic strip that promoted Baum's second Oz book, '' The Marvelous Land of Oz'' (1904). The comic strip, written by Baum and illustrated by Walt McDougall, brought Oz characters including the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and others to the United States for various humorous adventures. ''The Woggle-Bug Book'' employs the same concept: H. M. Woggle-Bug, T. E. is shown maladjusted to life in an unnamed American city. The book's artist, Ike Morgan, was a Chicago cartoonist who had earlier provided illustrations for Baum's ''American Fairy Tales'' (1901). Baum's Woggle-Bug was a p ...

Ike Morgan
Isaac Morgan (June 28, 1871 – September 13, 1913) was a well-known newspaper illustrator for several big newspapers in Chicago and New York. Biography Morgan was labeled "well-educated" by newspaper colleagues. He was fluent in Latin and an aficionado for the theater. He was born in Grand Tower, Illinois, and grew up in St. Louis, where he graduated from the St. Louis School of Fine Arts. Morgan was a good friend and colleague with L. Frank Baum and shared a studio with William Wallace Denslow, both joint creators of ''The Wizard of Oz''. Morgan provided pictures for Baum's ''American Fairy Tales'' (1901), and illustrated ''The Woggle-Bug Book'' (1905). By one account, it was Morgan who introduced L. Frank Baum to Paul Tietjens, the composer for ''The Wizard of Oz'' and other stage projects. Both W.W. Denslow and Ike Morgan were influenced by Japanese woodcuts on French prints. Morgan developed his own pen-and-ink style and took pride with his color work in the ''Woggle-Bug ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jack Snow (writer)
John Frederick Snow (August 15, 1907 – July 13, 1956), born Piqua, Ohio was an American radio writer, writer of ghost stories, and scholar, primarily of the works of L. Frank Baum. When Baum died in 1919, the twelve-year-old Snow offered to be the next Royal Historian of Oz, but was politely turned down by a staffer at Baum's publisher, Reilly & Lee. Snow eventually wrote two Oz books: '' The Magical Mimics in Oz'' (1946) and ''The Shaggy Man of Oz'' (1949), as well as ''Who's Who in Oz'' (1954), a thorough guide to the Oz characters, all of which Reilly & Lee published. In his second year in high school, the precocious Snow created the first radio review column in American journalism, in ''The Cincinnati Enquirer.'' After graduation, Snow pursued a career in print journalism and primarily in radio, with periods in teachers college and the U. S. Army. He named the Ohio radio station WING, and spent seven years with the National Broadcasting Company in New York. In 1944, he ...

Oz-story Magazine
''Oz-story Magazine'' was an annual periodical devoted to the literature and art of Oz, the fantasy land created by L. Frank Baum. It was published in six volumes between 1995 and 2000. ''Oz-story'' was published by Hungry Tiger Press, and edited by David Maxine, assisted by Eric Shanower, who was responsible for a significant share of the artwork in the volumes. ''Oz-story'' printed a variety of Oz-related features and illustrations, by writers and artists closely associated with the Oz mythos — Baum, Ruth Plumly Thompson, W. W. Denslow, John R. Neill, Jack Snow, Rachel Cosgrove Payes and many others — including modern contemporaries like Shanower and Edward Einhorn. The most notable single work in the six volumes of ''Oz-story'' was arguably Eloise Jarvis McGraw's novel '' The Rundelstone of Oz'', never previously published, which appeared in the sixth and final volume. Rare Baum novels were reprinted in ''Oz-story'': * '' Sam Steele's Adventures on Land and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
John Dough And The Cherub
''John Dough and the Cherub'' is a children's fantasy novel, written by American author L. Frank Baum, about a living gingerbread man and his adventures. It was illustrated by John R. Neill and published in 1906 by the Reilly & Britton Company. The story was serialized in the Washington Sunday Star and other newspapers from October to December 1906. Like the Oz books but unlike many of the author's other works, ''John Dough'' was issued under Baum's name rather than one of his pseudonyms. The book was popular; as late as 1919 it was selling 1500 copies a year. The 1974 Dover Publications edition features an introduction by Martin Gardner. Gender ambiguity Throughout his text, Baum is careful never to specify the sex of the character Chick the Cherub, even to the point of referring to Chick as "it" instead of "he" or "she." Chick dresses in androgynous pajamas; Neill pictures Chick in a Buster Brown haircut that could fit either a boy or a girl. The publishers wanted Baum ...

Frank Baum. The character was further popularized by a stage play and several films, including the classic 1939 film and the 2013 prequel adaptation.

Sam Steele's Adventures On Land And Sea
''Sam Steele's Adventures on Land and Sea'' is a juvenile adventure novel written by L. Frank Baum, famous as the creator of the Land of Oz. The book was Baum's first effort at writing specifically for an audience of adolescent boys, a market he pursued in the coming years of his career. The novel was first published in 1906, under the pen name "Capt. Hugh Fitzgerald", one of Baum's pseudonyms. Audiences and markets Around the turn of the twentieth century (1897–1905), Baum had succeeded in establishing himself as a popular author of children's books, most notably with ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' (1900). By the middle of the twentieth century's first decade, he was working diligently to branch out into other markets. In 1905, he released his first adult novel, ''The Fate of a Crown'' (as the work of "Schuyler Staunton"). In 1906, he issued his first books for adolescent girls, '' Annabel'' (as by "Suzanne Metcalf") and ''Aunt Jane's Nieces'' (by "Edith Van Dyne"), as well as h ...

Father Goose's Year Book
''Father Goose's Year Book: Quaint Quacks and Feathered Shafts for Mature Children'' is a collection of humorous nonsense poetry written by L. Frank Baum, author of the Oz books. It was published in 1907. The book was illustrated by Walter J. Enright; he was the husband of Maginel Wright Enright, the artist who illustrated Baum's ''The Twinkle Tales'' (1906), ''Policeman Bluejay'' (1907), and ''L. Frank Baum's Juvenile Speaker'' (1910). As its title indicates, ''Father Goose's Year Book'' was an attempt to capitalize on the prior success of '' Father Goose: His Book'', the 1899 collaboration between Baum and W. W. Denslow that was the dominant best-seller in children's literature at the turn of the twentieth century. Baum had made similar attempts, with uneven results; ''The Songs of Father Goose'' (1900) had been a respectable seller, but other ventures, including a ''Father Goose Calendar'', failed to materialize. The ''Year Book'' was a belated version of the calendar: it was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Recto And Verso
''Recto'' is the "right" or "front" side and ''verso'' is the "left" or "back" side when text is written or printed on a leaf of paper () in a bound item such as a codex, book, broadsheet, or pamphlet. Etymology The terms are shortened from Latin: and ' (which translate as "on the right side of the leaf" and "on the back side of the leaf"). The two opposite Page (paper), pages themselves are called ' and ' in Latin, and the ablative ', ' already imply that the text on the page (and not the physical page itself) are referred to. Usage In codicology, each physical sheet (', abbreviated ''fol.'' or ''f.'') of a manuscript is numbered, and the sides are referred to as ' and ', abbreviated as ''r'' and ''v'' respectively. Editions of manuscripts will thus mark the position of text in the original manuscript in the form ''fol. 1r'', sometimes with the ''r'' and ''v'' in superscript, as in ''1r'', or with a superscript ''o'' indicating the Ordinal indicator#Latin, ablative ', ', a ...

Parker Brothers
Parker Brothers (known by Parker outside of North America) was an American toy and game manufacturer which in 1991 became a brand of Hasbro. More than 1,800 games were published under the Parker Brothers name since 1883. Among its products were ''Monopoly'', Clue (licensed from the British publisher and known as ''Cluedo'' outside of North America), '' Sorry!'', ''Risk'', ''Trivial Pursuit'', ''Ouija'', '' Aggravation'', ''Bop It'', ''Scrabble'' (under a joint partnership with Milton Bradley in North America and Canada), and '' Probe''. The trade name became defunct with former products being marketed under the "Hasbro Gaming" label with the logo shown on Monopoly games. History Parker Brothers was founded by George S. Parker. Parker's philosophy deviated from the prevalent theme of board game design; he believed that games should be played for enjoyment and did not need to emphasize morals and values. He created his first game, called ''Banking'', in 1883 when he was 16. ''B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
