NOTES
Read by Matthew Reese
First of all, don't expect normal fairy tales here. L. Frank Baum, the creator of the Wizard of Oz series, writes these for adults and adds a lot of irony and humor for adults. Yes,they are fantasy, but all have ironic or nonsensical morals attached to their ends, and their tone is more satirical, glib, and tongue-in-cheek than is usual in children's stories; the serialization in newspapers for adult readers was appropriate for the materials. Have fun and enjoy these funny stories with their odd 'morals'
