I'll grab some of the previous posts and put them on this thread. McCloskey's 2nd Caldecott Medal winning book sold for $634 on March 24, 2008, to go along with his three Caldecott Honor books. We are not such purists that we would call this a '2nd state DJ' simply due to the applied stickers. In many cases, the stickers were sent to stores and applied post-publication, therefore a 'first issue dust jacket with Caldecott Medal stickers applied.' Thoughts? From the item description: Robert McCloskey_TIME OF WONDER_1957_1st/dj_SIGNED_WOW Winner 1958 Caldecott Medal NF/NF lovely! Item number: 200208715343 Sold on March 24, 2008, for $634 "TIME OF WONDER by Robert McCloskey Viking, New York. 1957. 4to in blue cloth binding with pressed cover decorations and silver-gilt spine titles, interior color illos by author throughout. Correct first edition, first printing in second-state dustjacket. The book is Near Fine with just tracewear to the board edges. The jacket is likewise Near Fine or better, no specific flaws noted. This Caldecott-winning book is SIGNED on the title page by the author at the bottom of the title-page illo. The jacket has the two Caldecott medallions on the front panel, the only difference from the first-state jacket, which does not have the award medallions. See the photos. NOT price-clipped, NOT ex-library, as lovely a copy of this multiple-Caldecott winning author's final award-winner as I have ever seen, in an archival-quality jacket protecter. This book was obtained directly from the estate of a children's librarian who was a Newbery/Caldecott Award judge.

I always thought this book was nice enough, and having experienced some of those better Maine coast days [as opposed to being fogged in for a solid week], it was evocative for me reading/telling it to my daughter. But his less detailed art work, after Sal, just didn't seem all that noteworthy. Was this like a Hollywood make-up award for something? re other artist: How "big", if at all, is Robert Lawson these days? zlinda (1707 ) View Listings | Report Mar-26-08 11:37 PDT 2 of 17 I don't think this was a make-up award. 1957 was an era of prescribed readers (think Dick & Jane, et. at.), and also some unrest from John Hersey's "Why Johnny Can't Read' article in Life Mag, I'm sure the noise reverberating through the ears of elementary school educators everywhere. In this environment, in 1957 two landmark early readers were published, The Cat In The Hat and Little Bear, books outside of the prescribed learn-to-read curriculum. That these two were ignored for Caldecott mention by the selection body of librarians, and a more conservative book selected, is understandable given the context. The Cat In The Hat in particular did not strike the fancy of the teaching public for many, many years (due in part to the authority bending Cat), while Little Bear's Visit deservedly winning a Caldecott Honor in 1962 could be some make-up for Little Bear's omission.

    The Man Behind the Curtain: L

    Article: The Wizard of Oz Dr. Jay Seller The Man Behind the Curtain: L. Frank Baum and The Wizard of Oz by Linda McGovern L. Frank Baum in 1881 Chances are you have seen the 1939 MGM movie, The Wizard of Oz, at one point or another in your lifetime. But the chances maybe even greater that you do not associate it with L. Frank Baum, the author of the book on which the film was based. In fact, most people have probably never heard of him at all unless they have read his work or were born around the time when he was popular. Whether it is shown on television annually or rented at the local video store, The Wizard of Oz has become a staple of American popular culture. Young or old, we know where the famous, unforgettable lines originate; we know the characters by heart: Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion, as well as the munchkins. Oz is as familiar as our own backyards. Although the movie and the book differ in minor ways, the premise is similar and so are most of the characters. The only significant difference that might matter to a child and possibly to an adult, is that in the movie, Dorothy’s journey to Oz is only a dream, purely imaginary, in other words, not real. In the book, however, there is no such rationale. Instead it invites the child to use his or her imagination as a creative, transforming force and to accept the journey, and Oz as a real place full of hope over the rainbow, where the child could escape ordinary life.
  • A Research Guide for L. Frank Baum

    A Research Guide for L. Frank Baum

    The Wizard Behind Oz and Other Stories: A Research Guide for L. Frank Baum By: Karla Lyles October 2006 2 Introduction: In 1900 Lyman Frank Baum published The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a phenomenal literary success that inspired posthumous writings to continue the Oz series into more than 40 books (including the originals). Although Baum published several additional series of books (most pseudonymously written) and other individual writings, he is best known for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. A considerable number of books, articles, dissertations, and electronic resources containing information about the Oz masterpiece are available, supplying a wealth of information for the curious Baum fan or avid Baum researcher. To locate information about Baum and his writings I consulted several search engines, including ABELL, British Library Catalogue, Copac, DLB, MLAIB, Wilson, and WorldCat, as well as referred to footnotes in printed materials I obtained. I have provided references to the databases I located each of the materials in within the brackets at the end of the citation entries, allowing the reader to consult those databases if he/she so chooses to pursue further research. For those individuals who may be unfamiliar with the acronyms of some of the databases, ABELL is the Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature, DLB is the Dictionary of Literary Biography, and MLAIB is the MLA International Bibliography. I also relied substantially on the services of Interlibrary Loan to secure materials that are not available in Evans Library at Texas A & M University, and I recommend the use of Interlibrary Loan in conducting research to allow for the acquisition of materials that would otherwise remain unobtainable.

Otto Volumes 32 through 45: Richard R. Rutter Dedications The Baum Bugle’s editors for giving Oz fans insights into the wonderful world of Oz. Fred E. Otto [1927-95] for launching the indexing project. Peter E. Hanff for his assistance and encouragement during the creation of this third edition of The Baum Bugle Index (1957-2001). Fred M. Meyer, my mentor during more than a quarter century in Oz. Introduction Founded in 1957 by Justin G. Schiller, The International Wizard of Oz Club brings together thousands of diverse individuals interested in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and this classic’s author, L. Frank Baum. The forty-four volumes of The Baum Bugle to-date play an important rôle for the club and its members. Despite the general excellence of the journal, the lack of annual or cumulative indices, was soon recognized as a hindrance by those pursuing research related to The Wizard of Oz. The late Fred E. Otto (1925-1994) accepted the challenge of creating a Bugle index proposed by Jerry Tobias. With the assistance of Patrick Maund, Peter E. Hanff, and Karin Eads, Fred completed a first edition which included volumes 1 through 28 (1957-1984). A much improved second edition, embracing all issues through 1988, was published by Fred Otto with the assistance of Douglas G. Greene, Patrick Maund, Gregory McKean, and Peter E.
