''American Fairy Tales'' is the title of a collection of twelve fantasy stories by L. Frank Baum, published in 1901 by the George M. Hill Company, the firm that issued ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' the previous year. The cover, title page, and page borders were designed by Ralph Fletcher Seymour; each story was furnished with two full-page black-and-white illustrations, by either Harry Kennedy,〔Harry Kennedy had illustrated two of Baum's earlier books, ''The Army Alphabet'' and ''The Navy Alphabet'' (both published in 1900).〕 Ike Morgan,〔Ike Morgan later illustrated Baum's ''The Woggle-Bug Book'' (1905).〕 or Norman P. Hall.〔Norman P. Hall later illustrated Baum's ''Aunt Jane's Nieces in the Red Cross'' (1915).〕 ==Background== L. Frank Baum was doing well in 1901, better than ever before in his life. He had written two popular books, ''Father Goose: His Book'' and ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,'' and was determined to capitalize on this success. In addition to ''American Fairy Tales,'' Baum's ''Dot and Tot of Merryland'' and ''The Master Key'' appeared in 1901. Publisher George M. Hill sold the serialization rights to the twelve stories in ''AFT'' to five major newspapers, the Pittsburgh Dispatch, the Boston Post, the Cincinnati Enquirer, the St. Louis Republic, and The Chicago Chronicle. The stories appeared between March 3 and May 19, 1901; the book followed in October. The first three papers used or adapted the book's illustrations for their publications of the stories, while the Chronicle and the Republic had their own staff artists do separate pictures.
