About this audiobook

American Fairy Tales is a collection of short stories by L. Frank Baum, the author of the "Oz" series. The book includes twelve original fairy tales that are set in America and feature a range of memorable characters, from wicked witches to clever animals. One of the most well-known stories in the collection is "The Wizard of Oz," which tells the story of a young girl named Dorothy who is swept away to a magical land by a tornado. Other stories include "The Box of Robbers," which follows a group of robbers who are outwitted by a group of dolls, and "The Capture of Father Time," which tells the story of a group of children who capture Father Time in order to prolong their summer vacation. Another popular story is "The Girl Who Owned a Bear," which follows a young girl named Mary who inherits a bear from her grandfather. Despite warnings from her family, Mary and the bear become fast friends, and she soon discovers that the bear has magical powers that she can use to help those in need. Each of the stories in "American Fairy Tales" has its own unique charm and message, and together they create a whimsical and magical world that readers of all ages will enjoy. Baum's skillful storytelling and vivid descriptions bring the characters and settings to life, and the book remains a beloved classic of American literature.
