Answer 3

Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] was an author who became widely known as the originator of the Oz book seriesof adventures and royal histories, in the form of fairy tales for the enjoyment of children throughout all places and times. The first title in the Oz book series is The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which was published in 1900 by George M Hill Publishing Co of Chicago and New York in Chicago, Illinois. It's aka The Wizard of Oz, published in that same year, by M.A. Donohue Publishers of Chicago. When Oz book specialists and devoted Oz book fans talk about the Oz books, they tend to refer to what are ka the Famous Forty. For these forty books, and four others commissioned from Sherwood Smith [b. 1951], are considered the classic Royal Histories of the land of Oz, by the Baum Family Trust. Fourteen were authored by Baum; nineteen by Ruth Plumly Thompson [July 27, 1891-April 6, 1976], who edited Baum's last books for posthumous publication; three by John Rea Neill [November 12, 1877-September 13, 1943], who was Baum's illustrator for all but one book, and Thompson's illustrator; two by John Frederick ka Jack Snow [August 15, 1907-July 13, 1956]; one by Rachel R. Cosgrove Payes [December 11, 1922-October 10, 1998]; and one by Elois Jarvis McGraw [December 9, 1915-November 30, 2000] and Laureen Lynn McGraw Wagner. The other 13 books written as part of the Oz series, by Baum, are The Marvelous Land of Oz, 1904; Ozma of Oz, 1907; Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, 1908; The Road to Oz, 1909; The Emerald City, 1910; The Patchwork Girl of Oz, 1913; Tik-Tok of Oz, 1914; The Scarecrow of Oz, 1915; Rinkitink in Oz, 1916; The Lost Princess of Oz, 1917; The Tin Woodsman of Oz, 1918; The Magic of Oz, 1919, posthumously published; and Glinda of Oz, 1920, posthumously published. Baum also wrote The Woggle-Bug Book, 1905; and Little Wizard Stories of Oz, 1913. But they aren't considered part of the Famous Forty Royal Histories that mainly were published by Reilly & Lee.

Answer 5

Author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] wrote an introduction to his book The Wizard of Oz. On that page, he explained that he was writing a fairy tale for the enjoyment of children. On other occasions, he added that he did so also to provide income for his family. In both regards, he wanted to pioneer a more pleasurabletelling of tales, for more pleasurable reactions in young readers. For he felt that the bloodier tales of yesteryear were written with a purpose. They in fact taught morals by way of adventures that were full of heartaches for the story's characters, and full of nightmares for the story's readers. And he felt that his fairy tale would instead cherish the joy and wonderment of children by putting both in his book.
