The Historical Wizard of Oz

Hosted by the Messenger Public Library.

Just hearing the name “Oz” conjures up fantastic images, adventures, and heartfelt memories. So many of us can recite the plot of the 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. Miss Keyes will be delighting audiences with her illustrated lecture on Saturday, 21 June at 10am.
