Romance, intrigue, jewels, gold-laden tombs, ancient curses, Egyptian princesses, a dysfunctional British family, a heroic archaeologist, a conniving thief, a wicked and vengeful heir to a 4,000-year-old line of Egyptian kings all come together on the Nile in 1900s Cairo in a tale only L. Frank Baum - creator of the Oz stories - could tell with his adventure-tipped and action-filled pen. And no finer adventure and action-packed tale came from Baum's quill than The Last Egyptian: A Romance of the Nile.

Another fable of discovery by Wizard of Oz penman L. Frank Baum. What some polar bears thought was a flaw in their leader may have nothing to do with courage and bravery in the face of battle. Perhaps character is forged some place other than good looks. Narrated by Glenn Hascall.

Very much in the style of L. Frank Baum ( The Wizard of Oz), this story shows that Harry Potter was not the first remarkably popular world hit in junior literature. A Kidnapped Santa Claus, a fun fantasy, is actually a continuation of the first novel Baum wrote in this vein, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. In it, he charts his hero's life from a foundling in the forest to becoming all children's favorite uncle. This story, though, has the advantage of brevity.

A memorable short story narrated by Glenn Hascall.

Wizard of Oz creator L. Frank Baum created this beloved short story that follows Wolly on a most unusual adventure. Wolly had been captured. Wolly had been stuffed. Wolly could not think.

We often condemn what we don't understand. In this short tale from L. Frank Baum (of The Wizard of Oz fame), we see members of high society suddenly engaging in activities they wouldn't normally have anything to do with.

A tale that seems to encourage the old adage "walk a mile in another man's shoes."
