The Emerald City of Oz

About “The Emerald City of Oz”

L. Frank Baum wrote a book that includes ideas from children who wrote to him. He acknowledged that many of the suggestions came from letters he received. He described himself as an editor or private secretary for these children, who provided clever and interesting ideas. Baum used their suggestions when possible and gave them credit for their contributions. The book is presented as a collaboration between himself and the children who sent him their ideas.
