The Master Key | Free Book
L. Frank Baum
L. Frank Baum, the creator of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published
his first book, The Master Key: An Electrical Fairy Tale, Founded Upon
the Mysteries of Electricity and the Optimism of Its Devotees, in
1901. Robert Stanton Baum, who was born in 1886 and would have been
approximately fifteen at the time of publication, was the recipient of
a dedication in Baum's book. The main character is a parent who
supports his son's electrical experiments and makes sure that he
"never lacked batteries, motors or supplies of any kind." A blinding
flash occurs, followed by the appearance of the entity known as the
Daemon of Electricity. He claims that Rob has the right to demand
presents from him since he unintentionally "touched the Master Key of
Electricity." The Daemon, according to The Master Key author Lathaniel
Baum, is a "Electro-Magnetic Restorer" with abilities so powerful that
even the dead may be brought back to life as long as their blood has
not yet cooled. Visitors were given a "Illimitable Communicator" and a
"Simple electric gadget which will enable you, wherever you may be, to
talk with individuals in any area of the world" during the third week
of the experiment.
