Author
L. Frank Baum
Wrote fourteen Oz books after failing at shopkeeping, chicken breeding and newspapers, and predicted in 1901 something very like augmented reality glasses.
Lyman Frank Baum was an American author best known for his children's fantasy books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, part of a series. In addition to the 14 Oz books, Baum penned 41 other novels, 83 short stories, over 200 poems, and at least 42 scripts. He made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and screen; the 1939 adaptation of the first Oz book became a landmark of 20th-century cinema.
