Which books by L Frank Baum were banned?

Answer 1

That they have no direct or overt references to God is the reason for the banning of "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the banning was a decision influenced by the power of fundamental Christians, librarians and teachers. It took place in the years after the Second World War when people in the United States of America feared the spread of godless communism. It occurred because of the lack of any involvement by or reference to the existence of God.

Answer 2

"The Wizard of Oz" is an example of a banned book written by Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919).

Specifically, Christian fundamentalists, librarians and teachers considered the Oz series originator a bad role model for impressionable young minds. They objected to the absence of God and the lack of divine references. It was not enough to their way of thinking that young heroes such as Dorothy are good role models.
