Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Baum was born in 1856 to a family that had made a fortune in the oil business. In 1897, following his mother-in-law's advice, Baum wrote down the stories that he told his children. The firm of Way & Williams published the stories under the title Mother Goose in Prose, with illustrations by Maxfield Parrish, and Baum's career as a writer was launched. With the publication of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1900, Baum gained instant success. The book, lavishly produced and featuring voluptuous illustrations by William Wallace Denslow, was the bestselling children's book of the year. It also set a new standard for children's literature. Baum died from complications of a stroke in 1919.
