LOLLIPOP GANG
The oldest living “munchkin” from “The Wizard of Oz,” 90-year-old Meinhardt Raabe, signs copies of his new memoir “Memories of a Munchkin” (Backstage Books). Mr. Raabe shares his reminiscences and answers questions about his experiences on the film’s set. The book is illustrated with photographs of the cast and crew and movie memorabilia. Mr. Raabe’s post-Oz life has been busy, too: He served as a pilot with the Civil Air Patrol during World War II, and for more than 30 years he worked as the spokesman for the Oscar Mayer Company, “Little Oscar.” Today, 5-7 p.m., Books of Wonder, 18 W. 18th St., between Fifth and Sixth avenues, 212-989-3270, free.
