Thompson, Ruth Plumly, 1893-1976
Variant namesBiographical notes:
Ruth Plumly Thompson was born in Philadelphia in 1891, and died April 6, 1976. Family difficulties made her choose to work as a free-lance writer rather than attend college. As a child she had made up fairy tales for her brother and sisters and continued with that writing as an adult, editing children's pages for newspapers and magazines. Upon the death of L. Frank Baum in 1919, his publisher asked Thompson to continue writing books in the Oz series which she did for many years. Biographical Source: Something About the Author, vol. 66, pp. 212-214.
