Just found out the Oz books we have are not illustrated by WW Denslow but instead are illustrated by John R. Neill, whose work is just as lovely.

I always loved the way Baum, in 1900, made Glinda, The Good Witch of the North, a witch who challenged the centuries-old “evil witch” archetype. He was a suffragist, & he made Glinda the Good a brilliant & strong protector over Oz.

Had to go to sleep by the last 30 minutes of the L. Frank Baum doc on PBS last night, but let me tell you... the real story is on the fallout between Baum and original “Wizard of Oz” collaborator, Illustrator W. W. Denslow... just read that last line.

Been looking at a lot of W W Denslow's Illustration Work. I love the limited earthy palettes of old printing. Lots of great use of color holds

Illustrator W. W. Denslow designed the original Wizard of Oz for the stage and illustrated the 1900 book. But he did a bit of baseball, too.

The King of Hearts
Called for the tarts,
And beat the Knave full sore;
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he’d steal no more.

The rhyme is thought to have been based on the astronomical clock at Exeter Cathedral. The clock has a small hole in the door below the face for the resident cat to hunt mice.
