    My understanding was that L. Frank Baum wrote the original 14
books, which were recently republished by Del Rey, and that others
wrote more books after he died under their own names.  I have heard,
but don't know for sure, that Del Rey is planning on republishing
some of the books written by Ruth Plumly Stapleton (sp?).  I hope
so, at any rate!

    You may be confusing these later books with the ghostwritten
books you refer to -- or you could be right.  I'd never heard that
one before.
