"Denslow worked closely with Baum to create pictures of characters and landscapes not described in the text. He was truly a co-creator. As Denslow said, he had to “work out and invent characters, costumes, and a multitude of other details for which there is no data — and there never can be in original fairy tales."Because he shared the copyright with the author, he became a wealthy man. He bought an island, built a castle on it, and declared himself 'King Denslow I.' But alcohol and bad investments brought his empire to an unfortunate end.
