Frank Baum and his correspondents,\"\r\nfor I have used many suggestions\r\nconveyed to me in letters from children. Once on\r\na time I really imagined myself \"an author of fairy\r\ntales,\" but now I am merely an editor or private\r\nsecretary for a host of youngsters whose ideas I am\r\nrequested to weave into the thread of my stories.\nThese ideas are often clever. They are also logical and\r\ninteresting. So I have used them whenever I could find an\r\nopportunity, and it is but just that I acknowledge my indebtedness\r\nto my little friends.\nMy, what imaginations these children have developed!\r\nSometimes I am fairly astounded by their daring and genius.\r\nThere will be no lack of fairy-tale authors in the future, I\r\nam sure. My readers have told me what to do with Dorothy,\r\nand Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, and I have obeyed\r\ntheir mandates. They have also given me a variety of subjects\r\nto write about in the future: enough, in fact, to keep\r\nme busy for some time. I am very proud of this alliance.\r\nChildren love these stories because children have helped to\r\ncreate them. My readers know what they want and realize\r\nthat I try to please them. The result is very satisfactory\r\nto the publishers, to me, and (I am quite sure) to the children.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 41667 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Baum, L.
