    Little Wizard Stories of Oz

    The "Little Wizard Stories of Oz" are six short stories written by L. Frank Baum in 1913. By all accounts, Baum intended to finish the Oz series with "The Emerald City of Oz," published in 1910. Following that, he attempted to write non-Oz books, publishing "The Sea Fairies" in 1911 and "Sky Island" in 1912. But, (as Baum himself laments in the prefaces of many of his Oz books,) his "little tyrants" were only interested in hearing more Oz stories. So in 1913, he returned to writing about Oz, putting out both The "Little Wizard Stories" and "The Patchwork Girl of Oz" that year.  
    According to this comprehensive Oz FAQ site, The Little Wizard Stories were geared toward younger children and were originally published separately, "similar in style to today's Little Golden Books." The next year, they were published together as one volume. 
     Each Little Wizard Story revolves around the adventures of two famous Oz characters, and their humorous adventures in and around the land of Oz. (Summary by Maddie)

    Enjoy the escapades of some real cool cats who know how to entertain in this New Orleans-set storybook with “vibrant paintings [and] songlike text” (Mississippi Magazine).   Meet Broussard, Tijohn, Tyrone, Louise, Willard, and Old Grandpa Kitty, and follow this feline jazz combo through the streets of New Orleans. From the blow of the clarinet and trumpet to the pluck of the fiddle bass and beating the trash-can drums, these Dixie, dancin’ jazz cats know how to have fun.   Colorful illustrations bring these hepcats to life, and highlight the details of such memorable surroundings as Preservation Hall, Café du Monde, and Jackson Square. Experience the lively atmosphere, the easygoing people, and the rich heritage of the French Quarter, all from the perspective of a few swingin’ jazz cats. They’re always ready for a party—and they’re in the right town for that!Texas Golden Spur Award Nominee in Children’s Literature“Children’s Choice” Top 100 List, International Reading Association/Children’s Book Council
