The Historical Wizard of Oz

Just hearing the name “Oz” conjures up fantastic images, adventures and heartfelt memories.  So many of us can recite the plot of this famous story, but how many of us really know what went into creating it?  What influences did L. Frank Baum have in his life as he created what is widely acknowledged as America’s First Fairytale?  Librarian Laura Keyes will separate fact from fiction as she shares the fantastic story of this amazing man, who created The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.  Ms. Keyes will present her illustrated lecture on Thursday, October 19 at 7pm. at the Addison Public Library.
