American Fairy Tales is a collection of twelve fantasy stories by L. Frank
Baum, published in 1901. The stories were serialized in five major newspapers
before being compiled into a book. The first edition featured an unusual
design with illustrated borders, reflecting medieval influences. The stories
have a satirical and tongue-in-cheek tone, with ironic morals. "The Magic Bon
Bons" was the most popular tale. The second edition, published in 1908,
included new illustrations and three additional stories. Baum also adapted
some of the tales for film and stage. Overall, American Fairy Tales showcases
Baum's imaginative storytelling and his ability to captivate both children and
adult readers with his whimsical narratives.
