American Fairy Tales 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 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.
