The novel that I occasionally manage to work on includes a number of references to Oz. This shouldn’t surprise those of you who know certain things. First, that I grew up in Holland, Michigan. Second, that L. Frank Baum, the writer of the “Wizard of Oz” and a number of other books lived near Holland for a while. Third, that my novel is set in Holland.

Recently a radio show did an episode devoted to Baum and Oz. It’s worth a listen.
