(2) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. Krull's narrative follows Baum's career changes before his bestselling novel was published in 1900. Illustrations include visual prefigurations as Baum bicycles past poppies and watches Midwesterners fight a stiff wind; Hawkes decorates text pages with line art patterned after W. W. Denslow. In all, an entertaining look at how a peripatetic man in a rapidly changing society produced a lasting fantasy tale. Bib.
