Is anyone a fan of the comic book Fables? I’ve been rereading them since the series will be coming out again in June & I’ve been enjoying them, especially the Oz references that happen later on in the series. View

    Could someone recommend a good biography on the life & works of L. Frank Baum?

      This is supposed to be a good read: The Road to Oz: Twists, Turns, Bumps, and Triumphs in the Life of L. Frank Baum
