Charles Santore Illustrates the Wizard of Oz (1997)

Charles Santore, in an expansion of his discussion in Oz: The American Fairyland (1997) (V), tells about his experience making an, unfortunately, he admits, abridged storybook of _The Wizard of Oz_. He tells of his inspirations, the little girl who modelled for Dorothy, the tin man in folk art, and a left to right progression in a journey of identity, with opposing forces pushing the movement in art back to the left.
