  • The Dakota Fairy Tales of L. Frank Baum
    Copyright © 2000 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The Dakota Fairy Tales of La Frank Baum Mark I. West L, Frank Baum lived in Aberdeen, South Dakota, from Sep- tember 1888 until April 1891. During this period, he ran a store called Baum's Bazaar for a little over a year, and when that enterprise failed, he tried his hand at publishing a weekly newspaper named the Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer. Baum man- aged to keep the paper going until March 1891, but in the end, it, too, proved to be a financial failure. Feeling defeated, Baum left Aberdeen that April and moved to Chicago, where he even- tually achieved fame as a children's author. Even though Baum had little success as an Aberdeen businessman, the experiences he gained while living on the Dakota prairie provided him with material and insights that he would later draw upon in his sto- ries. The literary critics and biographers who have studied Baum are not in complete agreement as to how his Dakota years influenced his writings. Some critics argue that the opening scenes in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), which Baum places in Kansas, are really set in South Dakota. Michael Patrick Hearn takes this position in The Annotated Wizard ofOz, stat- ing that these scenes "are largely Baum's recollections of the great gray prairie of the Dakota Territory (now South Dakota)."' The historian Nancy Tystad Koupal takes a somewhat different 1. Hearn, Introduction, Notes, and Bibliography to Tbe Annotated Wizard of Oz York: Clarkson N.

    Introduction .................................................................................... 2 Background and Criticism ............................................................ 5 The Books ......................................................................................12 The Movie ......................................................................................15 Winnie-the-Pooh and Friends .....................................................20 Conclusion .....................................................................................28 Works Cited ..................................................................................32 Gylfadóttir, 2 Introduction In the 1920s an English author by the name of A. A. Milne wrote two books about a bear named Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends. The former was called simply Winnie- the-Pooh (WP) and was published in 1926, and the second, The House at Pooh Corner (HPC), was published in 1928. The books contain a collection of stories that the author used to tell to his son before he went to bed in the evening and they came to be counted among the most widely known children‟s stories in literary history. Many consider the books about Winnie-the-Pooh some of the greatest literary works ever written for children. They have been lined up and compared with such classic masterpieces as Alice in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll and The Wind in the Willows (1908) by Kenneth Graham. How Milne uses poetry and prose together in his stories has earned him a place next to some of the great poets, such as E. Nesbit, Walter de la Mare and Robert Louis Stevenson (Greene). In my view, the author‟s basic purpose with writing the books was to make children, his son in particular, happy, and to give them a chance to enter an “enchanted place” (HPC 508). The books were not written to be a means of education or to be the source of constant in-depth analysis of over-zealous critics.

  • Ralph Steadman
    VISITING PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY RALPH STEADMAN Ralph Steadman was born in 1936 in Wallasey, Cheshire. He began his career as a cartoonist satirising the British social and political scene of the 60s. In the 1970s, responding to what he called ‘the screaming lifestyle of America’ he teamed up with Hunter S. Thompson which resulted in his iconic drawings for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and collaborations ranging from The Kentucky Derby to The Curse of Lono. Many of his drawings were to be seen in Rolling Stone magazine and he produced his book of collected impressions of America in 1974. Over the years his work has appeared in many newspapers and magazines, from Punch and Private Eye in the early years to the New Statesman, The New Yorker and the Independent where he illustrated a series of weekly essays by Will Self called Psychogeography which resulted in two books. Early in his career he turned his creative energy to the literary classics, beginning with Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass and then on to other works including Treasure Island, Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451. He then turned to the lives of Sigmund Freud and Leonardo da Vinci reinterpreting their genius in both words and drawings. His book, The Big I Am, tells the story of mankind beginning with the creation. He wrote Doodaaa in 2002, partly satire and partly autobiography and The Joke’s Over, the account of his relationship with Hunter S. Thompson, in 2006. Much of the 1990s was spent travelling the vineyards and distilleries of the world for Oddbins, the wine merchant.
