Lyman Frank Baum sa preslávil predovšetkým ako tvorca klasického diela americkej detskej literatúry, jehož podstata je dnes všeobecne známa ako Čarodej zo zeme Oz. Svet, ktorý stvoril, obohatil o trinásť pokračovaní a deväť ďalších fantasy románov, čím ukázal svoj mimoriadny talent pre imagináciu. Jeho tvorba zahŕňa širokú škálu žánrov a foriem, od poézie po scenáre, čo dokazuje jeho všestrannosť a neúnavnú snahu o oživenie svojich príbehov na rôznych umeleckých platformách. Baumovo dielo naďalej uchvacuje čitateľov svojou jedinečnou atmosférou a nezabudnuteľnými postavami.
Dorotka sa nedobrovoľne a sama ocitla v čarovnej zemi Oz. Jediné, po čom túži, je vrátiť sa domov. Pomôcť jej však môže len tajomný čarodejník. Na svojej dlhej púti po žltej tehlovej ceste spozná nových priateľov, z ktorých každý na vyriešenie svojich problémov tiež potrebuje pomoc od tohto mocného muža. Keď však nakoniec Dorotka pred ním vysloví svoje prianie, zistí, že všetko je úplne inak ...
Slavný pohádkový příběh o putování malé Dorotky a jejich neobvyklých přátel za všemocným čarodějem Ozem do Smaragdového města, příběh, v němž jsou slovy autora zachovány zázraky a radost a vynechány bolesti a noční můry. Dvojjazyčné vydání s gramatickým a lexikálním komentářem pod čarou. Pro mírně pokročilé.
Mnozí mladí čtenáři znají příhody Dorotky, kterou tornádo odnese z Kansasu do daleké Východní země, kde žijí Mlaskalové, kteří jí vyprávějí o zemi Oz a jejím mocném čaroději. Kniha Dorotka a čaroděj ze země Oz vypráví pokračování příhod Dorotky a čaroděje z předchozího dílu Čaroděj ze země Oz. Děj začíná zemětřesením v Kalifornii, kde se Dorotka po návratu z Austrálie zastavila na krátké návštěvě u příbuzných.
Když dojde k otřesu země, Dorotka právě jede v kočárku taženém koněm a řízeném jejích bratrancem Zebem. Země pukne a všichni se propadnou do země Mangusů a Dorotka zažívá nová dobrodružství se starými i novými přáteli. Knihu ilustrovala přední česká výtvarnice Eva Sýkorová-Pekárková.
Pohádkový příběh Čaroděj ze země Oz vyšel roku 1900 a okamžitě zaznamenal obrovský úspěch u kritiky i čtenářů. Baum posléze napsal dalších 13 knih s postavami ze země Oz a v jeho díle pokračovali i další spisovatelé. Jednou z nich jsou Malé čarodějné povídky ze země Oz. Knížka obsahuje šest povídek ve zjednodušené angličtině. Kromě anglického textu zde najdete i český překlad a jazykové komentáře.
Dětská knížka Život a příběhy Santa Clause přináší originální vyprávění o tom, kdo je to Santa Claus a proč dětem na Vánoce nosí dárky, jak přišel ke svému sobímu spřežení a jak jednoho dne začal vyrábět hračky. Dozvíme se také, proč se musí do lidských obydlí spouštět komínem, jak se stalo, že je nesmrtelný, a proč dárky nosí nejenom chudým, ale i bohatým dětem – a dokonce i těm zlobivým.
Autorem příběhu plného fantazie a zlých i dobrých pohádkových bytostí je spisovatel Lyman Frank Baum, který sepsal též příběhy čaroděje ze země Oz.
Rok po obrovském úspěchu "Čaroděje ze země Oz" vydal americký spisovatel L. F. Baum tento svazek půvabných pohádek pro děti i dospělé.
Pohádky se vedle podivuhodných nápadů, svědčících o autorově nevyčerpatelné fantazii, vyznačující i humorem, mírně sarkastickým vyzněním a dosti nečekanými poučnými závěry, jaké autor ze svých příběhů k nemalému pobavení čtenáře vyvozuje.
Kniha vychází česky poprvé a volně navazuje na první díl, malí čtenáři se zde setkávají opět s Hastrošem a Plecháčem. Místo Dorotky je ústředním hrdinou chlapec Tip, který společně se svými kamarády odvrátí vzpouru generálky Bimbam. Kniha je bohatě ilustrovaná akademickým malířem Jiřím Běhounkem a vychází ke 100. Výročí vydání tohoto příběhu v Chicagu (USA) v roce 1904.

Excerpt from Aunt Jane's Nieces in the Red Cross This is the story of how three brave American girls sacrificed the comforts and luxuries of home to go abroad and nurse the wounded soldiers of a foreign war.
