Bøker av L. Frank Baum

L. Frank Baum wrote the 1912 book Aunt Jane's Nieces on Vacation under the pen name "Edith Van Dyne." Baum's intended title was Aunt Jane's Nieces in Journalism, which is more accurate, but the publisher changed it without telling him, much to his chagrin. To begin with, the title is accurate enough. Returning to their holiday home in Millville, upstate New York, are John Merrick and his nieces. Patsy Doyle, Beth De Graf, and Louise Merrick Weldon, the three girls, get tired of taking vacations and want to get more involved in town life. Since Beth reads newspapers frequently, they plan to start their own newspaper with Uncle John's funding, and stereotype plates from the wire service liberally strewn with local news and rumors. Louise is mostly in charge of the latter. As was typical of female-run businesses at the period, her husband, Arthur Weldon, has his name listed first on the masthead, which forces him into a duel with one of the yokels. However, the issues brought by local greedy mill owners trying to con the town become the main plot. White ethnics make up the majority of the workforce, which the locals despise.

Dorothy gets swept into the water by a storm while traveling by boat to Australia with her uncle Henry. She finds safety in a floating chicken coop that washes up on the coast with a hen inside. She meets a talking hen and Tik-Tok the clockwork man, one of the earliest sentient humanoid automatons in fiction. The three go to Princess Langwidere's palace, which is home to a variety of interchangeable, removable heads. She locks Dorothy in a high tower after she refuses to allow her to remove her head and add it to her collection. On a journey to rescue the royal family from the Nome King, Princess Ozma and her Royal Court of Oz just so happen to pass the Deadly Desert. Tik-Tok, Billina, and Dorothy accompany Ozma on her journey to the Kingdom of the Nomes. Billina hears the Nome King talking to another Nome about his transformations, and she discovers how to identify which ornaments are converted individuals by their color. She also finds that the Magic Belt the King is wearing gives him his magical abilities. The Oz people are able to seize the magic belt and flee by taking advantage of the Nomes' aversion to eggs. Ozma, Dorothy, and the others return to Oz after restoring the throne of the royal line of Ev.

L. Frank Baum, the creator of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published his first book, The Master Key: An Electrical Fairy Tale, Founded Upon the Mysteries of Electricity and the Optimism of Its Devotees, in 1901. Robert Stanton Baum, who was born in 1886 and would have been approximately fifteen at the time of publication, was the recipient of a dedication in Baum's book. The main character is a parent who supports his son's electrical experiments and makes sure that he "never lacked batteries, motors or supplies of any kind." A blinding flash occurs, followed by the appearance of the entity known as the Daemon of Electricity. He claims that Rob has the right to demand presents from him since he unintentionally "touched the Master Key of Electricity." The Daemon, according to The Master Key author Lathaniel Baum, is a "Electro-Magnetic Restorer" with abilities so powerful that even the dead may be brought back to life as long as their blood has not yet cooled. Visitors were given a "Illimitable Communicator" and a "Simple electric gadget which will enable you, wherever you may be, to talk with individuals in any area of the world" during the third week of the experiment.
