The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and above all, how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary, who painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family, called herself an "excitement addict." Cooking a meal that would be consumed in fifteen minutes had no ...
Stephen Sondheim: A Life by Meryle Seecrest
Based on the first biography of the full-scale life of the most important composer-lyricist at work in musical theatre today, by Meryle Secrest, it draws on her extended conversations with Stephen Sondheim as well as on her interviews with his friends, family, collaborators and lovers to bring us not only the artist - as a master of modernist compositional style - but also the private man. Beginning with his early childhood on New York's prosperous Upper West Side, it describes how Sondheim was taught to play the piano by his father, a successful dress manufacturer and amateur musician. It explores ...
Ozma of Oz by L. Frank Baum
It is the first Oz story where the majority of the action takes place outside of the Land of Oz. Only the end takes place in Oz itself. This reflects a subtle change in theme: in the first story, Oz is the dangerous land through which Dorothy must win her way back to Kansas; in the third, Oz is the end and aim of the story. Dorothy's desire to return home is not as desperate as in the first story, and it is her uncle's need for her rather than hers for him that makes her return.
The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum
After his witch guardian Mombi threatens to turn him into a statue, young Tip decides to run off to Emerald City with his newly-animated companion, Jack. Along the way, he meets up with Genral Jinjur, leader of the Army of Revolt, who takes Tip prisoner as she marches her troops to take over the Emerald City. Tip escapes to warn the scarecrow, now the ruler of the city, and together they leave to find the Tin Woodsman and form their own army.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
