Little Wizard Stories
L. Frank Baum · 6 short stories · 4 collections · 1913–1939
Little Wizard Stories of Oz collects six short, self-contained adventures that L. Frank Baum wrote in 1913 as small illustrated booklets to promote his next Oz novel, each spotlighting a different familiar character such as the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, or Tik-Tok rather than continuing a single plot. Baum, the creator of Oz, wrote and published these himself, and the six pieces were later gathered into one illustrated volume.
