About the author

Born in 1856, in Chittenango, New York, L. Frank Baum is best remembered for his monumental 1900 classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He returned frequently to the magical world he'd created, writing 13 books set in Oz. His considerable literary output included 55 novels, 83 short stories, over 200 poems, and many miscellaneous writings, including scripts and "lost" novels. He passed away in 1919.

Max Apple was born to a Jewish family in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and received his BA (1963) and PhD (1970) from the University of Michigan. He taught creative writing at Rice University in Houston, Texas, for 29 years, where he held the Fox Chair in English. After retiring from Rice University, Apple moved to Philadelphia, where he presently teaches at the University of Pennsylvania. Along with his published novels and short story collections, he has written the screenplays for The Air Up There, starring Kevin Bacon, and Roommates (based on his 1994 biography Roommates: My Grandfather's Story).
