''By the Candelabra's Glare'' is a 1898 collection of poems written by L. Frank Baum. One of his earliest works, the book was significant in Baum's evolution from amateur to professional author. ==The book== Baum's first book, ''Mother Goose in Prose'', had been published in 1897 by the Chicago firm Way and Williams. The book was attractively produced, with illustrations by a young Maxfield Parrish; but its relatively high price for a children's book limited its commercial success.〔Katharine M. Rogers, ''L. Frank Baum, Creator of Oz: A Biography'', New York, St. Martin's Press, 2002; p. 62.〕 Publisher Way and Williams went bankrupt in 1898. For his second book, Baum reverted to his earlier amateur mode. He had had his own printing press as a youth, and had created a family newspaper;〔Rogers, pp. 4-5.〕 in 1898 he obtained another small printing press and some cases of type, and personally printed and bound 99 copies of a collection of his verse. (His sons took over the press when their father was done with it.)〔Rogers, p. 58.〕
