L. Frank Baum 
American Fairy Tales 

Support

According to Wikipedia: ‘American Fairy Tales is the title of a collection of twelve fantasy stories by L. Frank Baum, published in 1901.. The stories, as critics have noted, lack the high-fantasy aspect of the best of Baum’s work, in Oz or out. With ironic or nonsensical morals attached to their ends, their tone is more satirical, glib, and tongue-in-cheek than is usual in children’s stories; the serialization in newspapers for adult readers was appropriate for the materials. ‘The Magic Bon Bons’ was the most popular of the tales, judging by number of reprints. Two of the stories, ‘The Enchanted Types’ and ‘The Dummy That Lived, ‘ employ knooks and ryls, the fairies that Baum would use in The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus the next year, 1902. ‘The Dummy That Lived’ depends upon the idea of a department-store mannequin brought to life, an early expression of an idea that would be re-used by many later writers in television and films.’
