Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.
The Great Explorations Children’s Museum of St. Petersburg, Florida, has developed a traveling exhibit based on L. Frank Baum’s Oz books, which is now at the Long Island Children’s Museum. Its iconography appears to have just enough reminiscent of the MGM movie to appeal to the American populace, and not enough to get sued.
J. L. BELL is a writer and reader of fantasy literature for children. His favorite authors include L. Frank Baum, Diana Wynne Jones, and Susan Cooper. He is an Assistant Regional Advisor in the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators, and was the editor of Oziana, creative magazine of the International Wizard of Oz Club, from 2004 to 2010.
Living in Massachusetts, Bell also writes about the American Revolution at Boston 1775.
