I’ll get back to OZ soon, but first, as promised, here is a Winsor McCay Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend cartoon. Keep in mind that The Pet is from 1921, twelve years before King Kong.

My home page has a link to the Eric Carle Museum in Amherst, MA. Carle is a children’s book illustrator and author, famous for The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Until October 22, the museum has an exhibit called “The Wonderful Art of OZ.” I’ve seen it and I recommend it highly. The exhibit includes about 20 original W.W. Denslow drawings from the first OZ book, and that should be incentive enough.
Starting with the next posting, I will begin an audio presentation of the 24 chapters in The Wonderful Wizard of OZ. The adaptation is from a 4-disk LP album published by Crown in 1961. My family received it as a Christmas gift from our maternal grandfather over 40 years ago.
… can you find it?
Here’s a quiz for my twinster Jean. Where have you heard this song?
