L. Frank Baum’s Animal Fairy Tales brings together nine charming and imaginative short stories, originally written in 1905 by the creator of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In this delightful collection, Baum blends classic fairy‑tale whimsy with his signature humor, crafting a world where animals speak, scheme, dream, and discover their own surprising destinies.
Each tale stands alone, yet all share Baum’s gift for giving personality and heart to the natural world. Baum wrote these stories at the height of his creative powers, and they sparkle with the same warmth and inventive spirit that made Oz a beloved classic. Perfect for readers young and old, Animal Fairy Tales is a rare glimpse into Baum’s broader fairy‑tale imagination—playful, thoughtful, and full of wonder.
This handsome edition was first published by The International Wizard of Oz Club and features many beautiful and evocative black and white illustrations by Oz illustrator Dick Martin and an Introduction by Baum scholar Russell P. MacFall.
All of our copies at Hungry Tiger Press are bound in dark green cloth with orange cover stamping, wrapped in a handsome dust jacket designed by Dick Martin.
