Dear Reader,
Hag Sameach to my Jewish readers. Passover begins Friday night, April 22. Have you seen this year’s batch of fun Passover videos? This one is my favorite: Adele/Bieber Passover Mashup. And I’m still loving this one (even though it’s a year old!): Uptown Passover Funk.
See ya on the Net,
Barbara J. Feldman

Frank L. Baum (1856 – 1910) wrote fourteen children’s books and a handful of short stories about the mythical land of Oz, but it was his first,”The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, that became an American classic and one of the most popular movies in film history, “The Wizard of Oz.”

Available formats include black and white PDF (includes the beautiful illustrations by W.W. Denslow), Kindle, full text, and ePub. Click on Baum’s linked name to find more of the author’s work.
