Subject: Ruby and GUI

I am new to Ruby and wanted to explore ways to create a GUI (on
Windows) in Ruby. What I have gathered so far is that the following
libraries exist to create a GUI:

a. Ruby Tk - it's language-independent, cross-platform and comes
standard with most Ruby distributions. However, there is no Ruby/Tk
book or documentation to make good use of this library, especially
since I have no Perl background.

b.wxRuby - It's a third party download and works on Windows, Unix and
Mac OS X. It has many more features than Tk but the writing code in it
is quite complex.

My questions are:

a. Is my above brief assessment correct?
b. Is there a book or documentation on Ruby/Tk?
c. Is there any good documentation on wxRuby
d. Which according to the experts here, is the best library to use to
build GUI on Windows and why?

Thanks.
