Writer of fiction that is still being published decades after his demise.
Does this help?

Probably this would help as well.
One of the writings was made into a major motion picture over 50 years ago.

"Very well, dear father!" returned the Pumpkinhead, meekly.
"How glad I am to be a Woggle-Bug!" murmured the Highly Magnified Insect, softly. "No one can expect wisdom to flow from a pumpkin." "Well," said the Scarecrow, "what shall we do to make Mombi speak? Unless she tells us what we wish to know her capture will do us no good at all." "Suppose we try kindness," suggested the Tin Woodman. "I've heard that anyone can be conquered with kindness, no matter how ugly they may be."

WE have a winner!!
Yup.. L. Frank Baum.....perhaps one of the most imaginative writers of the early 20th century. I highly recommend his novels, of which there are quite a few that most people have never weven heard of. "The Wizard of Oz" movie is nowhere near thelling the whole story. Know why his mythical land is called "OZ"? He was trying to come up with a catchy name when he noticed he had a two volume encyclopedia "A-N" and "O-Z". The rest is history.

Read some of the later b ooks...far darker; almost like something that C.S. Lewis would have done.
