Over de auteur
Lyman Frank Baum, born on May 15, 1856, in Chittenango, New York, is a name indelibly associated with one of the most cherished and timeless works of American children’s literature, ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.’ L. Frank Baum’s literary journey meandered through various professions before he found his true calling as a writer. His early ventures included acting and running a general store, and he also founded and edited a newspaper, The Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer, in which he honed his writing skills. Baum’s fascination with fairy tales and his belief that the existing ones were often ‘full of horrors, ‘ as he mentioned in his introduction to ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ (1900), inspired him to create stories that omitted the moralistic overtones of the time and instead entertained and delighted young readers. Among his numerous contributions to the Oz series, ‘Ozma of Oz’ (1907), the third installment, continued the saga of Dorothy Gale, blending inventive fantasy environments, compassionate storytelling, and memorable characters. Baum’s literary style is characterized by a blend of whimsy, vividly imaginative worlds, and down-to-earth characters, blending this with a quintessentially American setting — a formula that has captured the imagination of generations. Baum’s legacy proliferated through his 14 canonical Oz books, and he maintained control over his creations well enough to produce numerous theatrical renditions. Baum passed away on May 6, 1919, but the endearing Land of Oz he created remains a cultural touchstone, reinforcing his position as an early forerunner in the fantasy genre for children.
