Frank Baum (1856-1919) was an American children’s writer. He is best-known for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, though he wrote another thirteen books in the Oz series and over fifty-five novels. Baum aimed to create an Americanized fairy tale, like Grimms’ and Andersen’s “in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.”
