Land Of Oz
The Land of Oz is a fantasy world introduced in the 1900 children's novel ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by William Wallace Denslow, W. W. Denslow. Oz consists of four vast quadrants, the Gillikin Country in the north, Quadling Country in the south, Munchkin Country in the east, and Winkie Country in the west. Each province has its own ruler, but the realm itself has always been ruled by a single monarch. According to ''Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz'', the ruler has mostly either been named Oz or Ozma. According to ''The Marvelous Land of Oz'', the current monarch is Princess Ozma. Baum did not intend for ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' to have any sequels, but it achieved greater popularity than any of the other fairylands he created, including the land of Merryland (Oz), Merryland in Baum's children's novel ''Dot and Tot of Merryland, Dot and Tot in Merryland'', written a year later. Due to Oz's success, including The Wizard of Oz (1902 m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Policeman Bluejay
''Policeman Bluejay'' or ''Babes in Birdland'' is a children's novel written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by Maginel Wright Enright. First published in 1907, Jack Snow considered it one of the best of Baum's works. The Book In 1906 Baum wrote, and his publisher Reilly & Britton published, a set of six tales for young children, called ''The Twinkle Tales'' after their little-girl protagonist. The six were issued in separate chapbooks, but later collected into a volume titled ''Twinkle and Chubbins: Their Astonishing Adventures in Nature-Fairyland''. The series was a hit; Reilly & Britton sold 40,000 copies of the little books in a short time. Such commercial success justified a sequel: Baum took his Policeman Bluejay character from the Twinkle Tale "Bandit Jim Crow" and cast him in a separate novel, to be issued the following year. Baum published many works – adventure stories, melodramas, and juvenile novels — under pseudonyms; early experience had taught him that he e ...

The Woggle-Bug Book
''The Woggle-Bug Book'' is a 1905 children's book written by L. Frank Baum, creator of the Land of Oz, and illustrated by Ike Morgan.

The comic strip, written by Baum and illustrated by Walt McDougall, brought Oz characters including the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and others to the United States for various humorous adventures. ''The Woggle-Bug Book'' employs the same concept: H. M. Woggle-Bug, T. E. is shown maladjusted to life in an unnamed American city. The book's artist, Ike Morgan, was a Chicago cartoonist who had earlier provided illustrations for Baum's ''American Fairy Tales'' (1901). ...
