L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) was an American author who created one of the most enduring fantasy worlds in children’s literature. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) introduced Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, and Baum went on to write thirteen more Oz novels through Glinda of Oz (1920).
Beyond Oz, Baum was a remarkably prolific writer. He published under multiple pen names (including Floyd Akers for the Boy Fortune Hunters series and Edith Van Dyne for the Aunt Jane’s Nieces series) and wrote fairy tales, adventure stories, and early works of American fantasy. His non-Oz output includes the Twinkle Tales, the Sky Island books, and dozens of standalone titles.
