L. Frank Baum
The Oz Collection
language
( Aug. 21, 2013)
Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood
through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and
instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly
unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought
more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.
Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now
be classed as “historical” in the children‘s library; for the time has
come for a series of newer “wonder tales” in which the stereotyped
genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible
and blood‐curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a
fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality;
therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder
tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident.
Having this thought in mind, the story of “The Wonderful Wizard of
Oz” was written solely to please children of today. It aspires to being
a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are
retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.
