John Dough and the Cherub is a children's fantasy novel written by American author L. Frank Baum, about a living gingerbread man and his adventures. It was illustrated by John R. Neill, and published in 1906 by the Reilly & Britton Company. The story was serialized in the Washington Sunday Star and other newspapers from October to December 1906. Like the Oz books but unlike many of the author's other works, John Dough was issued under Baum's name rather than one of his pseudonyms. The book was popular; as late as 1919 it was selling 1500 copies a year. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: fantasy books - fantasy books for kids age 9 12 - fantasy books for teens - fantasy books for kids age 12-15 - fantasy book for kids - fantasy book series for teens - adventures books - adventures books for kids - adventures books age 10 - adventures books for boys - adventures books for teens
