Who was Frederic Chapin?
Frederic Chapin was an American composer and writer best known for his work with L. Frank Baum on The Woggle-Bug, a 1905 musical based on Baum's novel, The Marvelous Land of Oz. His popular work The Storks with Guy F. Steeley led to his work with Baum, as he was recommended by M. Witmark & Sons, the publisher. He also wrote songs with lyricist Arthur Gillespie, two of which appeared, credited to Baum, in The Woggle-Bug.
He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and died in Los Angeles, California.
His other stage works include Pussy in a Corner, The Forbidden Land, The American Girl, and The Maid and the Millionaire. Chapin took up writing, having written the book and lyrics for The Maid and the Millionaire, and then produced a 1908 fantasy novel modeled on the Oz books titled Toodles of Treasure Town and her Snow Man, which he followed with Pinkey and the Plumed Knight, both illustrated by Merle De Vore Johnson.
