Produktbeschreibung
American Fairy Tales is the title of a collection of twelve fantasy stories by L. Frank Baum, published in 1901 by the George M. Hill Company, the firm that issued The Wonderful Wizard of Oz the previous year. This volume contains12 Fairy Tales from the author of the Wizard of Oz series of books. Inspired by Lang and the Brothers Grimm, Baum sought to create an American type of fairy tales, avoiding the usual violence and roman often found in these sort of stories. L. Frank Baum was doing well in 1901, better than ever before in his life. He had written two popular books, Father Goose: His Book and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and was determined to capitalize on this success. In addition to American Fairy Tales, Baum's Dot and Tot of Merryland and The Master Key appeared in 1901. Publisher George M. Hill sold the serialization rights to the twelve stories. The stories appeared between March 3 and May 19, 1901; the book followed in October.
Autorenporträt
Lyamn Frank Baum (1856-1919) was schrijver, journalist, dichter, acteur en film-maker. Baum trouwde in 1882 met de feministe Maud Cage, met wie hij vier kinderen kreeg. De boeken Mother Goose in Prose (1897) en Father Goose, His Book (1899) zijn werken die in meer of mindere mate bekend zijn geworden tijdens het leven van Baum, maar zijn definitieve doorbraak kwam met het boek The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1900 in Nederland beter bekend als De Grote Tovenaar van Oz in de Nederlandse vertaling van Hendrik Scholte uit 1940. In 1904 publiceerde Baum zijn eerste succesvolle vervolg getiteld The Marvelous Land of Oz, in totaal zouden er zo'n 17 Oz boeken verschijnen van zijn hand.
