NEW RELEASE TODAY!!!

 Wil's book is officially available! 

It's The Wizard of Oz as if it were written by Shakespeare
with all new illustrations by our talented daughter-in-law

Why write it thus, you may well ask. 
It's because of a conversation between Grandad Wil and VT*Grand (Ivy),
back when she was 11.

       "Ivy, how are things in school?"
       "Fine," she answered.
       "Are you doing anything with Shakespeare?"
       "No, but I know who Shakespeare is.  He wrote, Romeo and Juliet."
       "Yes!"
       "And The Wizard of Oz," she continued.
       "The Wizard of Oz?"
       "Well, maybe not The Wizard of Oz."

      "Well, maybe..." thought Grandad...

                                 

If you've ever wondered:  How did the Scarecrow become alive?  How did the Tin Woodsman became a man of tin and what was he before? Where did the Cowardly Lion come from?  Wil addresses all of these and more, tying up loose ends that have never been addressed before.

It's out in a beautiful hardcover and will soon be available as an e-book.

For all the Rosies and all who work hard...
