    L. Frank Baum

    Lyman Frank Baum was born in 1856 in Chittenango in the state of New York. Educated mostly at home due to ill health, he was encouraged by his wealthy father to pursue his early interests in journalism and playwriting. He started his first magazine aged fifteen, had his own theatre at twenty-four and worked for many newspapers and periodicals before turning to children's fiction with stories he had made up for his own four sons. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900, was his third bestselling book in as many years, and launched the series of Oz titles. Baum had moved with his family to Hollywood following the huge success of the books and stage adaptations. His own Oz Film Manufacturing Company failed to capitalize on the stories, and the hugely popular movie The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland, was not made until twenty years after Baum's death in 1939.

      I finally found a copy of this...very cute short stories of the classic OZ characters
    • 5/5
      I think that I like the story that is about Dorothy and the giant and I think that it is exciting and interesting and I think it has good
      quality . It is very well written but I think I like the Wizard of Oz the best .I like to read, and I think it is a great book. My favorite character is Princess Ozma .
    • 4/5
      In L. Frank Baum's Little Wizard Stories of Oz, he's collected a series of short stories, each of which focus on a pair of the more popular characters of Oz. There's Jack Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse, Dorothy and Toto, Ozma and the Wizard, the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger. While the stories are not the most shining examples of literary masterpiece, they will give the avid Ozian one more ride through this magic fantasyland.Compared to his other writings, especially the Oz stories, I have to say that this one does not hold as much merit. It could be perhaps because Baum was better suited for the longer form, or some other reason in which the end result is that these stories are not very remarkable, and as such, are not very remarked upon.They are a definite must for any true fan of Oz, and a definite maybe for those who need some nice, short stories to read to that kid, or kid-at-heart, in their life.
