After this very brief visit, Baum never returned. In the winter of 1882, Baum’s play The Maid of Arran brought him on a tour of the United States which included stops in both Lawrence and Olathe, Kansas. He is most famous for his children's book series The Oz Series. Baum was named Lyman after his father’s brother, but always disliked the name so instead went by his middle name, Frank. Lyman Frank Baum (May 6, 1919) was a businessman, actor, and independent filmaker, but his true love was writing.
