The Little Wizard Stories of Oz contains six thrilling short stories based on characters from the Wizard of Oz. L. Frank Baum had announced to the world that he was done writing Oz books. Inundated with letters from disappointed children Baum decided to write short stories in the hopes that this would mollify his legions of disappointed fans. These stories explore more deeply many of the characters we've come to know and love Jack Pumkinhead, The Cowardly Lion, The Hungry Tiger, The Scarecrow, The Tin Woodman, and even the Wizard of Oz himself.

Autor

Lyman Frank Baum (1856 - 1919), better known by his pen name L. Frank Baum, was an American author chiefly known for his children's books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels and a host of other works (55 novels in total, plus four "lost works", 83 short stories, over 200 poems, an unknown number of scripts and many miscellaneous writings). His works anticipated such century-later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high risk, action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).
