Synopsis

Bells, bells, bells everywhere -- ringing at the right time, the wrong time, and all the time! And telephones, too -- to call up everyone in the family just when they do not wish to be disturbed! After Rob has filled his workshop and whole house with electrical pranks and nuisances, he is thunderstruck at the appearance of a strange being . . . the Demon of Electricity, called into existence because Rob has stumbled upon the Master Key! Equipped with new, seemingly magical abilities, Rob flies away -- literally -- on his way to perilous adventures, in this fairy tale of electricity, from the pen of the famous author of the Oz books.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Lyman Frank Baum (1856 - 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 (55 novels in total, plus four "lost works", 83 short stories, over 200 poems, an unknown number of scripts and many miscellaneous writings) 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).
