Frank Baum in 1881 Chances are you have seen the 1939 MGM movie, The Wizard of Oz, at one point or another in your lifetime. But the chances maybe even greater that you do not associate it with L. Frank Baum, the author of the book on which the film was based. In fact, most people have probably never heard of him at all unless they have read his work or were born around the time when he was popular. Whether it is shown on television annually or rented at the local video store, The Wizard of Oz has become a staple of American popular culture. Young or old, we know where the famous, unforgettable lines originate; we know the characters by heart: Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion, as well as the munchkins. Oz is as familiar as our own backyards.

Lyman Frank Baum was born on 15 May 1856 in Chittennango, NY. His first book Mother Goose in Prose was published in 1897 with illustrations by famous artist Maxfield Parrish. In 1900, the first Oz book was published, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. For the rest of his life, Baum wrote children's books - so many that he used aliases such as Captain Hugh Fitzgerald, Edith Van Dyne, Floyd Akers, George Brooks, John Estes Cooke, Laura Bancroft, Louis F. Baum, Schuyler Stanton, and Suzanne Metcalf. Under these names, he also had success; As Floyd Akers, he wrote 6 books on the adventures The Boy Fortune Hunters As Edith Van Dyne, he published 18 books in three series for girls. But it was the magical charaters of Oz that brought Baum his fame. He wrote a musical show about Oz that ran on Broadway, and in 1908, he wrote the first of many screenplays for silent movies based on Oz. L. Frank Baum died May 6, 1919, in Hollywood, CA. His last Oz book Glinda of Oz was published the next year. Although several other authors continued the adventures of Dorothy and friends in the magical land of Oz, the orginal books by Baum are the ones veryone remembers. And the popularity of his books continues to this day! The Oz Encyclopedia L. Frank Baum Books online:

Young or old, we know where the famous, unforgettable lines originate; we know the characters by heart: Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion, as well as the munchkins. Oz is as familiar as our own backyards. Although the movie and the book differ in minor ways, the premise is similar and so are most of the characters. The only significant difference, that might matter to a child and possibly to an adult, is that in the movie, Dorothy’s journey to Oz is only a dream, purely imaginary, in other words, not real. In the book, however, there is no such rationale. Instead it invites the child to use his or her imagination as a creative, transforming force and to accept the journey, and Oz as a real place full of hope over the rainbow, where the child could escape ordinary life. Baum believed in the power of the imagination in the child. Oz really existed if only we believed it did.

Home Authors Titles Keyword Search ... Reference Lyman Frank Baum Lyman Frank Baum was born to Benjamin and Cynthia Ann Stanton Baum on May 15, 1856 in Chittenango, New York. Frank, as he preferred to be known, was the seventh of nine children born in his family, and one of only five who lived to adulthood. At the time of Frank's birth, Benjamin Baum worked as a cooper, a manufacturer of barrels. Later, Benjamin went into the oil business and became wealthy. Cynthia, a devout Episcopalian of Scotch-Irish descent, passed on to her children a strong devotion to God. The family enjoyed a happy existence which revolved around friends, family and church. Frank suffered from a congenital heart condition and was educated at home. Once he learned to read, he could often be found in his father's study, devouring volumes by Dickens and Thackeray. He began to dream of becoming an author. For his fourteenth birthday, Frank received a small printing press. Inspired, he and his younger brother began publishing a neighborhood newspaper which contained poetry, articles, editorials and word puzzles. He also earned money by printing signs, stationery and programs. When he was 17, Frank started another paper, The Empire , and a magazine for stamp collectors. As he grew into an adult, he worked at a variety of positions, including salesman, reporter, owner of a print shop, director of a chain of opera houses, and actor.
