When ‘American Fairy Tales’ first appeared, L. Frank Baum’s reputation as a storyteller had already been established by ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’, written in 1900. The twelve stories in this collection were originally syndicated weekly in at least five newspapers during the first half of 1901. The first book edition, which this facsimile reprints, came out later that year.
‘American Fairy Tales’ is a delightful collection of twelve stories set in America where, so it seems, modern fairies, knooks, and ryls are always causing the most astonishing things to happen! These tales will enchant both young and old.
The author of the much-loved
Oz books transforms the familiar with his magical mix of humour and enchantment.
