    Author

    L. Frank Baum

    Lyman Frank Baum was born in 1856 in Chittenango in the state of New York. Educated mostly at home due to ill health, he was encouraged by his wealthy father to pursue his early interests in journalism and playwriting. He started his first magazine aged fifteen, had his own theatre at twenty-four and worked for many newspapers and periodicals before turning to children's fiction with stories he had made up for his own four sons. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900, was his third bestselling book in as many years, and launched the series of Oz titles. Baum had moved with his family to Hollywood following the huge success of the books and stage adaptations. His own Oz Film Manufacturing Company failed to capitalize on the stories, and the hugely popular movie The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland, was not made until twenty years after Baum's death in 1939.

      The truth is I haven't read this since I was a child, and don't remember it perfectly (I remember the movie well enough though, having watched it many times). I'm going through Scribd and marking as read and reviewing a number of books which I have read at some point in my life, for what purpose, I am not sure. I don't know if I would like this story as much if I read it for the first time today, but I give it a 5-star rating because I know that I loved it as a child. It was fun, just as the author intended it to be. These days as an adult, I don't so much like that he tried to take all the morals out of it and just have it be for pleasure, I like stories with a message of some sort. But my adult self was not Frank Baum's audience :).
