Frank L. Baum - Free Editions - Audio and Ebook

Frank L. Baum is best known for his Wizard of Oz books ... yet he was a prolific writer under many pseudonyms.  I copied the Bibliography of his books from Wikipedia - the word "Bibliography" is a link to the article.   In between each entry, I have placed the locations where you can find Free copies of his books.  Enjoy!   This makes great summer reading for kids!

***  Please Note - Not all Amazon Links are Free, some are under a $1 or a set under $5, or a study guide.


     This style of book is usually free. - 


Most others cost.  Special study books are also posted - but prices will vary.
I tried to pick out some fun and interesting book fronts for each book - along with the free one if available.



If you use the middle roller button on most mouses, and click it straight down, you should be able to open items in a brand new window or tab.  It took me a while to get the hang of it.
