L. Frank Baum

L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) was an American author of children’s literature and pioneer of fantasy fiction. He demonstrated an active imagination and a skill for writing from a young age, encouraged by his father who bought him the printing press with which he began to publish several journals. Although he had a lifelong passion for theater, Baum found success with his novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), a self-described “modernized fairy tale” that led to thirteen sequels, inspired several stage and radio adaptations, and eventually, in 1939, was immortalized in the classic film starring Judy Garland.

This is how it all started. I love hearing the original version that the author created.

It’s different from the Judy Garland movie. It’s interesting to hear storylines that weren’t brought into the movie.

There is so much more that follows this story...over a dozen other stories. I hope to explore each here at Scribd.
