Lyman Frank Baum was thirty-five (35) years old when "The Wizard of Oz" first was published.

Specifically, the author was born on May 15, 1865 in Chittenango, New York. The book first was published by the George M. Hill Company on May 17, 1900. It is unknown as to when the author began writing or when he finished writing the manuscript. But the first publication carried a 1899 copyright.
