About the author
Born in Chittenango, New York, in 1856, L. Frank Baum tried many kinds of work before becoming a successful writer, including theater, journalism, and business. That wide-ranging life helped shape the lively, theatrical imagination readers find in his books.
His most famous work, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), introduced Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, and it became the starting point for a long-running Oz series. Baum went on to write many more books for young readers, but Oz remained the world most closely linked to his name.
Baum died in 1919, yet his stories have never really gone away. Generations of readers have kept returning to Oz for its adventure, heart, and playful sense that ordinary people can find courage, wisdom, and home in unexpected places.
