作者簡介

About the Author

　　Lynam Frank Baum is born in Chittenango, a small town in the state of New York in 1856. His father is a businessman and the family is rich.

　　Frank has eight brothers and sisters and his childhood is very happy.

　　He is a shy, quiet boy and his health isn’t very good. He doesn’t go to school and he studies at home with a teacher. He loves reading. His favourite stories are traditional European fairy tales but he doesn’t like the violence and the frightenging creatures in them. When he writes The Wonderful Wizard of Oz at the age of 44, he wants to write a different kind of fairy tale.

　　Baum has many jobs before he becomes a successful writer. He is a journalist, a chicken farmer, a salesman and an actor. He manages his own theatre and writes plays for it. He even has a shop. But most of his careers end in failure. In 1882 baum marries Maud Gage. Together they have four sons.

　　In 1897 he writes a book of nursery rhymes in story from: Mother Goose in Prose. The book sells well and Baum decides to stop working and concentrate on writing. In 1900 he publishes The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and it is an immediate success.

　　Baum dies on 6 May, 1919 and is buried in California.
