Synopsis

The Magical Monarch of Mo is the first children book L. Frank Baum ever wrote. It was published at the beginning of the twentieth century, just some time after The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was released. Somehow, the land of Mo, Baum’s first creation, was unfairly overshadowed by the great success of Oz. The Magical Monarch of Mo is a collection of stories about the king of this incredible land, his royal family and his people. The stories, all of them rather nonsensical and truly hilarious, deal with the most absurd topics. A purple dragon, an ice-cream cow, a wise donkey, a bad tempered princess and some civilized monkeys are only some of the characters that make of this episodic novel an amusing read for both children and grownups.

À propos de l'auteur

Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 – May 6, 1919), better known by his pen name L. Frank Baum, was an American author chiefly known for his children's books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels, and a host of other works, and made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and screen. His works anticipated such century-later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high risk, action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).
