The Wizard of Oz Series by L. Frank Baum - A Timeless Classic

=====================================================================================

L. Frank Baum's beloved children's book series, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, first captivated readers upon its release in 1900. Now considered a classic of American literature, the series follows the adventures and misadventures of Dorothy Gale as she navigates the magical land of Oz.

Baum went on to write thirteen more books set within this enchanting world before his untimely passing away from a heart attack at age seventy-five in 1915. However, Baum's legacy continued long after he was gone due to Ruth Plumly Thompson being hired by Reilly & Company (later known as G.M Hill Co.)to carry on writing more books based upon the original stories.

The final book of this epic series written by Baum himself is titled 'Glinda of Oz' and it came out a year after his death, which was in 1920. This particular novel concludes Dorothy's journey through both good and bad times within the magical land that she had grown so fondly attached to during her numerous visits.

Although there have been many attempts made by other authors over time trying away from Baum’s original storylines while still maintaining some semblance towards what fans expect when they read a new Oz adventure; none of them could ever hope to match up with the sheer magic and wonder that only L Frank Baum himself was capable of bringing forth onto paper.
