Mary Louise in the Country by L. Frank Baum audiobook.

Genre: family

The Bluebird Books is a series of novels popular with teenage girls in the 1910s and 1920s. The series was begun by L. Frank Baum using his Edith Van Dyne pseudonym, then continued by at least three others, all using the same pseudonym. Baum wrote the first four books in the series, possibly with help from his son, Harry Neal Baum, on the third.

The books are concerned with adolescent girl detectives— a concept Baum had experimented with earlier, in The Daring Twins (1911) and Phoebe Daring (1912). The Bluebird series began with Mary Louise, originally written as a tribute to Baum's favorite sister, Mary Louise Baum Brewster. Baum's publisher, Reilly & Britton, rejected that manuscript, apparently judging the heroine too independent. Baum wrote a new version of the book; the original manuscript is lost.

The title character is Mary Louise Burrows.In this volume, Mary Louise and Gran'pa Jim take a house for the summer in a quiet place called Cragg's Crossing. There, they meet with any number of peculiar people - and one very peculiar mystery!!

Little Wizard Stories of Oz by L. Frank Baum ~ Full Audiobook [fantasy]

Little Wizard Stories of Oz by L. Frank Baum audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

The 'Little Wizard Stories of Oz' are six short stories written by L. Frank Baum in 1913. By all accounts, Baum intended to finish the Oz series with 'The Emerald City of Oz,' published in 1910. Following that, he attempted to write non-Oz books, publishing 'The Sea Fairies' in 1911 and 'Sky Island' in 1912. But, (as Baum himself laments in the prefaces of many of his Oz books,) his 'little tyrants' were only interested in hearing more Oz stories. So in 1913, he returned to writing about Oz, putting out both The 'Little Wizard Stories' and 'The Patchwork Girl of Oz' that year.

The Little Wizard Stories were geared toward younger children and were originally published separately, 'similar in style to today's Little Golden Books.' The next year, they were published together as one volume.

Each Little Wizard Story revolves around the adventures of two famous Oz characters, and their humorous adventures in and around the land of Oz.
