This collection of fantasy stories was originally serialized in regional newspapers, prior to being published as a complete volume. The stories, as critics have noted, lack the high-fantasy aspect of the best of Baum's work, in Oz or out. With ironic or nonsensical morals attached to their ends, their tone is more satirical, glib, and tongue-in-cheek than is usual in children's stories; the serialization in newspapers for adult readers was appropriate for the materials.

Each episode is surprising enjoyable, though not always PC. I'm not sure what makes them American; all were me to me.
I really enjoyed the stories! Reader and stories were great!

The stories are a mixed bag as far as quality goes. Mostly quite good though. The reading was excellently done.
