Gabriel Gale is an architect and artist whose enchantment with the Oz books began in childhood. In 2017 and 2018, he published two books in his three-book series Ages of Oz, which launched his own conception of a 1,000-year Oz universe based on the characters and intentions of L. Frank Baum's original books. John Fricke knows more than anyone else about the famous 1939 The Wizard of Oz movie. As author and historian, he's written several books about Oz. Michael Patrick Hearn is the author of the best-selling The Annotated Wizard of Oz and the world's leading authority on L. Frank Baum and his Oz series.
