5.0 out of 5 stars Baum tries Science Fiction, and Succeeds, December 1, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Master Key (Paperback)

Baum is usually known for his "American fairy tales," and the Master Key is an experiment in a new genre. Baum calls it "An Electrical Fairy Tale," and it really is part fairy tale. It reads like his other works, and flows very well. It is a great romp of fun, and the reader is pulled with the main character Rob into his numerous, wacky adventures. A great book for children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fantasy-adventure for young people, November 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Master Key (Hardcover)

I first read this when I was 12 (back in 1948); loved the imaginative narration. Rob was my hero back then (even named my first son after him). As a youngster I could really get into the story and felt like I was in the story with Rob during his exciting adventures. I secretly thought that perhaps there was a "master key" and just maybe I could find it and go on adventures of my own.
