Guest: Roger S. Baum
On film, stage and print, the Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum is without a doubt, the most beloved children’s classic of all time. Roger S. Baum, continues the legacy started by his great-grandfather over 100 years ago by authoring more than 10 new Oz adventures.
One of his novels, “Dorothy of Oz,” is currently in production as a major motion picture release by Box Office Productions III, LLC and Alpine Pictures starring actor Jim Belushi as the voice of the Cowardly Lion. Producer Bonne Radford has worked on many prestigious animated films such as An American Tail, Antz and Curious George, as well as many major motion pictures including ET, The Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future and The Color Purple.
Roger and his wife Charlene love the beauty of the Ozarks and reside in the Branson area full time where he continues to imagine new adventures in the wonderful land of Oz.

Roger,
I took the time to go to your website today, after you left our school. You are obviously a very talented writer, that is keeping a long standing tradition in your family going. I hope you will continue to do the work for which you are quite suited. Thanks for being so gracious at school today.

Roger,
I was named after Judy Garland and met you at the MGM Grand Hotel about five years ago. You autographed and personalized each book at length (thank you again) I bought for gifts. I am still thanked and remembered by the receivers of the books . They are such treasures and I love giving them to new arrivals as their first book autographed by you. Will you still personalize and autograph books? Do I have to go through Google.com or Amazon.com? Can you send direct to me?
So glad to find you again.
Judy
