Father Goose: His Book is a collection of nonsense poetry for children, written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow, and first published in 1899. Though generally neglected a century later, the book was a groundbreaking sensation in its own era; "once America's best-selling children's book and L. Frank Baum's first success," Father Goose laid a foundation for the writing career that soon led to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and all of Baum's later work. Father Goose, His Book is a collection of nonsense poetry for children, written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. It was the great success in its genre at the turn of the twentieth century, selling more than 75,000 copies in its first few years in print. In bringing together Baum, Denslow, and publisher George M. Hill, the book martialed the forces that would produce The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in the following year, 1900. In 1998, a young Jamie O'Connell claimed that this creature hid in the toilet of the boy's room in Dale Street School. Eventually, he became a mythical creature.
