Lyman Frank Baum was an American children's book writer best-known for creating the popular Wizard of Oz series. Baum was a prolific writer who wrote 14 novels in the Oz series, plus 41 other novels, 83 short stories, over 200 poems, and about 42 scripts. He often wrote under pseudonyms. Of all the books, the one that made Baum a household name was The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

The book was published in 1900, and one of the reasons it is still popular is that in 1939, Hollywood made a film The Wizard of Oz based on Baum's stories. Unfortunately, Baum didn't live to see that film, although during his lifetime, he repeatedly tried to put his novel on stage.

In The Wizard of Oz, the plot revolves around a little girl's quest to find her way back home from a land of witches and munchkins.

Enjoy this timeless classic!
