Dot and Tot of Merryland

By L. Frank Baum and Lyman Frank Baum

Book Overview

Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) is one of America's most read authors, and he is widely considered one of the premier authors of children's books. Baum wrote dozens of novels and short stories, as well as hundreds of poems, and he even foresaw technological innovations such as computers, televisions and mobile phones, all of which made their way into his writing. Baum, however, is still best known and best regarded for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and several other titles that took place in the fantasy world of Oz.

Customer Reviews

Wonderful fantay book with a happy ending.

I have been looking for this book in antique stores for 10 years. I was so pleased to see it had been reprinted. I remembered the title and the story about the split man. I have used this character as an illustration in many speeches that I have given. I wish that sometimes I could split myself so as to perform all the various tasks to be done. This book would be a good one for Disney productions to make into a movie! I am 71 years old now, so you can see that the original reading as achild had a lasting impression !

Baum's Masterpiece!

One of his most creative and wonderful books, Dot and Tot of Merryland enchanted me from the start. It is certianlly unusual, with a complete absence of any antagonists or even a coherent plot. It is just the journy of two chrildren through a silly, magical world where nothing is wrong and nothing ever changes. It is so pleasent to read and even better to read to a small child.
