Answer 2

Author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] had his first book published under different titles such as The New Wizard of Oz, The Wizard of Oz, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Whatever the title, it was the same story. So for example, The New Wizard of Oz was published by M.A. Donohue & Co. Publishers in Chicago, Illinois, in 1900. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz originally was published by George M. Hill Company in Chicago, Illinois, in 1900.

Answer 3

"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is in the public domain.

Specifically, the book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) has been without copyright protection since 1956. The duration of the book's copyright was determined by the 1909 Copyright Act. The book therefore was protected by the original 28 years after publication and then an extension of another 28 years.

Answer 4

The George M. Hill Company and May 17, 1900 are the respective publisher and publication date for "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the book was written by Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919). The author and Oz series originator was living in the Chicago area at the time. The place of publication was Chicago, Illinois.

Answer 5

The George M. Hill Company is the original publisher of "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the author and illustrator copyright dated back to 1899. The first date of publication was May 17, 1900. The first place of publication therefore was Chicago, Illinois.

Answer 6

MGM Studios was the production company for "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the production company saw the success that Walt Disney had in bringing the children's story of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" to the silver screen. MGM therefore decided to do likewise, but not in cartoon form. They bought the film rights to the original 1900 book edition from Samuel Goldwyn (July 1879 - January 31, 1974) and ended up with an enduring, much loved American cinema classic.

Answer 7

The most famous film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz was made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (abbreviated MGM), the biggest and most prestigious of the film studios during the Golden Age of Hollywood. However, when MGM fell on hard times in the '60s and '70s, they started selling off their assets, which eventually included their older movies. Ted Turner eventually bought up most of their film library, and those films were later bought up by Warner Bros. So now Warners owns The Wizard of Oz, even though it still carries the MGM logo and roaring lion in its opening.

Answer 8

The book The Wizard of Oz was published by the George M. Hill Publishing Company, in Chicago, Illinois.
