On this day in 1856, L. Frank Baum, author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, was born. Before his famous 'Oz' rolled off the presses in 1900, Baum had the best-selling children's book the year before: Father Goose: His Book. This collection of children's poems brought Baum money and fame even before Dorothy's adventures. With the profits, Baum rented, then bought a multi-story Victorian summer home near Holland, Michigan, which he renamed The Sign of the Goose, a nod to his Father Goose bestseller.
