  L. Frank Baum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baum had shrewdly transferred most of his property, except for his clothing, his library (mostly of children's books, such as the fairy tales of Andrew Lang, whose portrait he kept in his study), and his typewriter, into Maud's name, as she handled the finances, anyway, and thus lost much less than he could have.
Baum died on May 6, 1919, aged 62, and was buried in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, in Glendale, California.
When Baum was writing The Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer, he once wrote of a woman's "roughish smile" instead of a "roguish smile." Legend has it, he was describing a bride at her wedding, and her husband was so irate that he challenged Baum to a gun duel.

 The Man Behind the Curtain: L. Frank Baum and the Wizard of Oz LiteraryTraveler.com
For Baum, "Years of living in the shadow of a heart ailment had taught him to avoid upsets that might bring on an attack."6 Maud was raised in a much stricter environment and appeared to have had her way with her parents, and was spoiled in a certain respect.
Baum stated, "My books are intended for all those whose hearts are young, no matter what their ages may be." 21 It seems that Baum did not want to write as many sequels as he did, for he wanted to write other kinds of children's books but the children's requests were incessant.
Baum had to stop his beloved gardening, answering letters from devoted fans and basking in the California sunshine that proved it was not the magical elixir it was thought to be, like it might have been in a fairy tale he told; nothing could extend Baum's fragile years.

From the early days of their marriage, Baum comes to understand that "around the house," Maud "is the boss." When their very young son cheerfully throws the family cat out the second story window, Maud dangles the child from the same window as the neighbors watch on in horror, an incident the boy never forgot.
In Theosophy, Rogers says, Baum found a belief system and a vision "of the cosmos in which physical and spiritual reality were part of one great whole, filled with beings seen and unseen," one that was to bear fruit for Baum in his numerous fairy books.
Rogers doesn't develop this aspect of his personality very deeply saying that for Baum these were "thoughtless lapses, in which Baum unthinkingly went along with contemporary attitudes [p.272]." Her treatment of his racism is confined to the Notes at the end of the book.

Baum wrote many fine books which had nothing to do with Oz, and this needs to be remembered.

Baum tells the story of Dorothy meeting the Shaggy man, a stupid little boy called Button-Bright and the beautifull but insecure Polychromethe Rainbow's Daughter.
