This is a basic text element.

Lyman Frank Baum was an American author best known for his children's books. Born in New York state, he was involved in writing and theatre all his life. Ruth Plumly Thompson was an American children's author who wrote many novels set in L. Frank Baum's fictional land of Oz.

"Anyone in a fairy country like the Land of Oz can do anything" Believing that the modern fairy tale no longer required 'a fearsome moral' rendered by 'horrible and blood-curdling incidents', L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) decided to create a world in which 'the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out'. Since the early successes of the Oz series during the author's lifetime, and with the production of numerous stage, film, television and literary adaptations in the years since his death, Baum's magical fairyland of Oz - devised 'solely to please children of today' - has continually delighted and influenced the imaginations of millions across the world for over a century. Journey through the magical world of Oz with Dorothy and friends in this 15 book collection by L. Frank Baum. These beloved children's classics are timeless and loved by all.
