Frank Baum, published in 1901 by the George M. Hill Company, the firm that issued The Wonderful Wizard of Oz the previous year. This collection of fantasy stories was originally serialized in regional newspapers, prior to being published as a complete volume. A set of short tales for everyone. In his captivating writing styles Frank Baum delivers another book with fairies, knooks, and ryls The twelve stories you will get in the book: THE BOX OF ROBBERS THE GLASS DOG THE QUEEN OF QUOK THE GIRL WHO OWNED A BEAR THE ENCHANTED TYPES THE LAUGHING HIPPOPOTAMUS THE MAGIC BON BONS THE CAPTURE OF FATHER TIME THE WONDERFUL PUMP THE DUMMY THAT LIVED THE KING OF THE POLAR BEARS THE MANDARIN AND THE BUTTERFLY Two of the stories, "The Enchanted Types" and "The Dummy That Lived," employ knooks and ryls, the fairies that Baum would use in The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus the next year, 1902. "The Dummy That Lived" depends upon the idea of a department-store mannequin brought to life, an early expression of an idea that would be re-used by many later writers in television and films.

Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- A Good, Entertaining, and Legendary Story Book for Your Child Tik-Tok of Oz is the eighth Land of Oz book written by the prolific children's author L. Frank Baum. Children and adults both are always very fond of folklore, fantasy stories, fairy-tales, and this book, having served many generations since its publication, is a good read on this path. It is ever-green and ever-excellent. Synopsis: Queen Ann Soforth of Oogaboo assembles a motley army consisting of a copper mechanical man called Tik-Tok, who is pressed into service as the only private in Ann Soforth's army; Betsy Bobbin, a little girl from Oklahoma with her mule Hank; Shaggy Man, a kindly old wandering hobo, dressed all in rags (and possesses a "Love Magnet" that makes everyone to love him); seventeen members of the army in total, to help the Shaggy Man rescue his brother from imprisonment by the sinister Nome King, who rules an underground land beneath a mountain. Intially and originally, the queen Ann Soforth actually sets off to conquer the rest of Oz (the land of Oz), because she thinks that her little kingdom has to prove some "conquering." The rest of the story is about how the army rescues Shabby Man's brother. The story is filled with narrow escapes, puns and magic. A Trivia About the Book: The author, Baum, initially had no plans to write a sequel to the first book, but letters from thousands of children convinced him to write sequels. He wrote the first one in 1904 and then published several more before he tried to convince his enthusiastic readers that the Land of Oz had lost contact with the real world. This did not convince anyone, however and thankfully, and he published several more books in the series before his death in 1916. Now, join the imaginary world OZ, where these characters are waiting to take you for a journey through the world created by one of the best writers of children's books. Get Your Copy Now
