**L. Frank Baum** (1856–1919) est un auteur américain surtout célèbre pour avoir créé l’univers d’Oz avec *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz* (1900), un conte fantastique devenu un pilier de la littérature jeunesse. Ancien journaliste, acteur et entrepreneur, Baum a écrit plus de 60 œuvres, dont 14 romans consacrés au pays d’Oz, mêlant aventure, humour et une touche de satire sociale. Son ambition était d’offrir aux enfants des histoires où **la magie côtoie le quotidien**, sans les cauchemars des contes traditionnels.
