About the Author
Lyman Frank Baum (1856 1919) was an American writer. best known for his work The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its 13 sequels which describe fantastical characters and situations in the magical land of Oz. He had a passion for the theatre and was keen to see his work converted to the stage or as film adaptations. This came true with the 1939 film version of his book. He wrote many other novels, short stories and scripts, some of which depict gadgets such as television, mobile phones and computers, much before they were invented.

Introduction
Folk lore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.

Yet the old-time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as "historical" in the children's library; for the time has come for a series of newer "wonder tales" in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incident devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder-tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident.
