Oz-story Magazine
''Oz-story Magazine'' was an annual periodical devoted to the literature and art of Oz, the fantasy land created by L. Frank Baum. It was published in six volumes between 1995 and 2000. ''Oz-story'' was published by Hungry Tiger Press, and edited by David Maxine, assisted by Eric Shanower, who was responsible for a significant share of the artwork in the volumes. ''Oz-story'' printed a variety of Oz-related features and illustrations, by writers and artists closely associated with the Oz mythos — Baum, Ruth Plumly Thompson, W. W. Denslow, John R. Neill, Jack Snow, Rachel Cosgrove Payes and many others — including modern contemporaries like Shanower and Edward Einhorn. The most notable single work in the six volumes of ''Oz-story'' was arguably Eloise Jarvis McGraw's novel ''The Rundelstone of Oz'', never previously published, which appeared in the sixth and final volume. Rare Baum novels were reprinted in ''Oz-story'': * ''Sam Steele's Adventures on Land and Sea'' ...

Land Of Oz
The Land of Oz is a magical country introduced in the 1900 children's novel ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by 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 ''The Marvelous Land of Oz'', this 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 in Baum's children's novel '' Dot and Tot in Merryland'', written a year later. Due to Oz's worldwide success, Baum decided to return to it four years after ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' was published. For the next two decades, he described and expanded upon the land in the Oz Books, a series which in ...

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 en ...

Annabel (Baum Novel)
''Annabel: A Novel for Young Folk'' is a 1906 juvenile novel written by L. Frank Baum, the author famous for his series of books on the Land of Oz. The book was issued under the pen name "Suzanne Metcalf," one of Baum's various pseudonyms. ''Annabel'' was one of Baum's first efforts to write a novel for adolescent girls – who soon became one of his most important audiences. Literary markets In the years around 1900, Baum had established himself as a successful author of children's literature, most notably with ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz''. In the middle of the twentieth century's first decade, he worked to expand his reach into three other potentially lucrative markets. He published his first adult novel, ''The Fate of a Crown'', in 1905. In 1906 came ''Annabel'', plus ''Sam Steele's Adventures on Land and Sea'', Baum's first book for adolescent boys. (Each of these books was released under a different pseudonym. The prolific Baum had learned from earlier experience 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. It has long been one of the rarest items in the Baum bibliography. Baum's text has been controversial for its use of ethnic humor stereotypes. Background The book grew out of another promotional project, '' Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz'' (1904-5), a popular comic strip that promoted Baum's second Oz book, '' The Marvelous Land of Oz'' (1904). 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). Baum's Woggle-Bug was a p ...

Daughters Of Destiny (novel)
''Daughters of Destiny'' is a 1906 adventure novel written by L. Frank Baum, famous as the author of the Oz books. Baum published the novel under the pen name "Schuyler Staunton," one of his several pseudonyms. (Baum arrived at the name by adding one letter to the name of his late maternal uncle, Schuyler Stanton.) The 1906 edition of the book featured eight illustrations, three by Thomas Mitchell Pierce and five by Harold DeLay. Pierce was a son-in-law of Baum's sister Harriet Alvena Baum Neal; he contributed illustrations to Baum's 1898 poetry collection ''By the Candelabra's Glare''. Baum had originally intended to call his novel ''The Girl in the Harem''.David Maxine, ed., ''Oz-story Magazine'' No. 4 (October 1998), p. 3. Adult fiction Overall, Baum dedicated his literary career to writing for children. For a brief period in the middle of the twentieth century's first decade, though, he made a concentrated effort to write for an adult audience as well. This effort produced t ...

The Flying Girl
''The Flying Girl'' is a novel written by L. Frank Baum, author of the Oz books. It was first published in 1911. In the book, Baum pursued an innovative blending of genres to create a feminist adventure melodrama. The book was followed by a sequel, ''The Flying Girl and Her Chum'', published the next year, 1912. Both books were illustrated by Joseph Pierre Nuyttens, the artist who also illustrated Baum's '' Annabel'' and ''Phoebe Daring'' in 1912. As with Baum's other books for girls, these two novels were published under the pseudonym " Edith Van Dyne." Feminism Baum lived during an era of increasing feminist and suffragette agitation; women gained the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920, the year after his death. Baum's mother-in-law Matilda Joslyn Gage was a leading feminist of her generation, and influenced Baum's views. It is certainly true that Baum pokes gentle fun at the feminist and suffragette movement in his books ...

Audiences and markets Around the turn of the twentieth century (1897–1905), Baum had succeeded in establishing himself as a popular author of children's books, most notably with ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' (1900).
