63. YOUR DICTIONARY - "Frank L. Richards" And Oz introspection in youth was unhealthy. L. Frank Baum and The WonderfulWizard of Oz. L. Frank Baum (18561919). is a figure of great http://website.lineone.net/~ssleightholm/dict/glossary/oz.htm

"Frank L. Richards" and Oz In a 1992 interview , Andy Partridge admitted that this name was a mistake: "I had a brain road accident when writing the lyrics. There's a line that says, `Dream you're Frank L. Richards and this is the great land of Oz.' I realised after I'd finished that I'd mixed up Frank Richards, the author of the Billy Bunter books in England, with L. Frank Baum, who wrote the Oz books. But that makes it all the more interesting, doesn't it?" So here's information on what he really (sort of) meant ... Frank Richards 'Frank Richards' was the most familiar of the many pseudonyms employed by English author Charles Hamilton (1876-1961). For 50 years, Hamilton churned out an astounding volume of stories for boys some 7,000 stories of varying lengths, with a tally of 72 million words. At his peak, he was writing the equivalent of an average-length novel each week (about 70,000 words). ... like most Amalgamated Press 'hacks' he filled his pages largely by means of short paragraphs and a good deal of repetition. As E.S. Turner has pointed out in Boys Will Be Boys , 'a sub-editor surgically disposed could have cut out every other sentence without impairing continuity.' Yet the repetition was the essence of the style, and had an almost hypnotic effect on devotees. Hamilton's plots were usually crafted skilfully.

OZ TRIVIA CARD GAME THE WIZARD OF OZ 100th ANNIVERSARY EDITION (2000) L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) Illustrated by Michael Hague In 1899, after the success of "Mother Goose in Prose" and "Father Goose: His Book," L. Frank Baum wrote "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" for which he received countless rejections from publishers. The book was considered a radical departure from the conventional children's literature of the day. Geo. M. Hill Co., a small Chicago publisher, agreed to publish the book with the condition that L. Frank Baum and W.W. Denslow, the Illustrator, incur all expenses. On August 1, 1900, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" was published and the world was introduced to a new kind of American Fairytale. Children and adults immediately embraced this wonderful story of unlikely friendships, co-operation, bravery and trust and all the inhabitants of Oz: Dorothy, the Tin Woodman, the Lion, the Scarecrow, and the little dog, Toto. By November 1900 the book had already been reprinted twice. Several years later the title of the book was changed to "The Wizard of Oz," which has become a classic American treasure sparking the imagination of millions.

The First and Only Weekly Online Fanzine Devoted to the Life and Works of Edgar Rice Burroughs Volume 0304 The Many Worlds of "The master of imaginative fantasy adventure... ...the creator of Tarzan and... ...the 'grandfather of science-fiction'" Edgar Rice Burroughs met former Chicago writer L. Frank Baum in Hollywood, in 1916. The two became fast friends from the start. Baum took the younger Burroughs under his wing and even invited him to join the prestigious men's club, the Uplifters . After studying the biographies of the two men (see ERB Life Line Bio ), it comes as no surprise that the two got along so well there are many striking similarities in their backgrounds. LYMAN FRANK BAUM "When I was young I longed to write a great novel that should win me fame. Now that I am getting old my first book is written to amuse children. For, aside from my evident inability to do anything "great," I have learned to regard fame as a will-o-wisp which, when caught, is not worth the possession; but to please a child is a sweet and lovely thing that warms one's heart and brings its own reward..."

L. Frank Baum Royal Historian of Oz Lyman Frank Baum is born on 15 May in Chittennango, NY (near Syracuse). His father is a barrel maker, who subsequently goes into the oil business and becomes wealthy. As a young boy and then teenager he starts up several newspapers and a magazine. In his late teens he becomes interested in the theater, and his father gives him a number of theaters and operas in New York and Pennsylvania to manage. Writes and publishes a successful musical play, "The Maid of Arran". Marries Maud Gage. Her mother is a leading figure in the Women's Rights Movement of the time, and a close associate of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. Baum's father dies and the family fortunes wane. A number of Maud's family have moved to the Dakota Territory, so Frank, Maud, and children join them in Aberdeen (South Dakota). For several years he operates a store, "Baum's Bazaar." It falls victim to hard times in 1890, so he turns to running the local weekly newspaper, "The Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer." When the newspaper fails, Frank and family move to Chicago where he takes a job as a reporter for the "Evening Post." To make ends meet he also works as a traveling salesman for a china company. He develops characters and situation outlines while on these trips to help him with story telling to his children when back at home.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback L(yman) Frank Baum (1856-1919) American journalist and writer, whose best-known book is The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). Baum's stories about the imaginary Land of Oz belong to the classics of fantasy literature. The Oz series was long shunned by librarians, and neglected by scholars of children's literature. Baum has often been compared to Lewis Carroll - they both had a girl as the protagonist in their most famous works. "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-curling 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." (Baum in the introduction to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Lyman Frank Baum was born in Chittenango, New York. His father was the oil magnate Benjamin Ward Baum and mother Cynthia (Stanton) Baum, a women's rights activist. Baum grew up with his seven brothers and sisters on a large estate just north of Syracuse. "The cool but sun-kissed mansion... was built in a quaint yet pretty fashion, with many wings and gables and broad verandas on every side," Baum later wrote in DOT AND TOT IN FAIRYLAND (1901). The house, although it was large, did not have running water.

Library L. Frank Baum Dictionary L. Frank Baum Lyman Frank Baum was born in Chittenango, New York. His father was the oil magnate Benjamin Ward Baum and his mother, Cynthia (Stanton) Baum, was a women's rights activist. Baum grew up with his seven brothers and sisters on a large estate just north of Syracuse. “The cool but sun-kissed mansion... was built in a quaint yet pretty fashion, with many wings and gables and broad verandas on every side," Baum later wrote in Dot and Tot in Fairyland Until the age of twelve, Baum was privately tutored at home. In the late 1860’s he spent two years at Peekskill Military Academy, where he learned to loathe rigid discipline. In 1873 Baum became a reporter on the New York World . Two years later he founded the New Era Weekly in Pennsylvania. He was a poultry farmer with B.W. Baum and Son, edited Poultry Record , and wrote columns for New York Farmer and Dairyman . Baum's father owned a string of theatres, and Baum left journalism to become an actor. In New York he acted as George Brooks with May Roberts and the Sterling Comedy in plays that Baum, himself, had written. He owned an opera house in 1882-83 and toured with his own repertory company. In 1882 he married Maud Gage; they had four sons. Baum returned to Syracuse in 1883 to the family oil business and worked as a salesman for Baum's Ever-Ready Castorine axle grease. His own endeavor - Baum's Bazaar general store in South Dakota - failed, and the family's fortunes took a downturn.
