The Master Key: An Electrical Fairy Tale

"These things are quite improbable, to be sure;" wrote L. Frank Baum more than a century ago, "but are they impossible? "Our big world rolls over as smoothly as it did centuries ago, without a squeak to show it needs oiling after all these years of revolution. But times change because men change, and because civilization, like John Brown's soul, goes ever marching on." "The impossibilities of yesterday become the accepted facts of to-day." In Baum's forward-looking electrical fairy tale, readers will find cell phones, television, DVRs, the taser, and much more, plus a rousing childhood adventure. And what about the rest of the marvels described in The Master Key? Will the Demon of Electricity reveal even more secrets in the future? "Who knows?"
