When working on our group project, it is amazing at how many things you find behind a story that somehow seem to connect. Part of what I looked to for example was Bryan Talbot's Alice In Sunderland. You don't realize how much research it takes to find all that information, not to mention trying to fact check all the information that you do find to make sure that everything you are presenting is correct. It is so interesting to look into Baum's life as Talbot has done with Lewis Carroll. There are so many what if's when trying to find the answers for why Baum did the things that he did and the coincidences that follow his story and the times surrounding it. I really enjoyed trying to researc Baum and his career. I loved Talbot's book because of all the history and coincidences that manage to connect everything and enjoyed doing the same with Baum and the Wizard of Oz. If only I could have done more...
