"One is named Olite, and one Udent and one Ertinent, and they have no respect for anyone or anything. If strangers pass through the valley, the Imps jeer at them and make horrid faces and call names, and often they push travelers out of the path or throw stones at them. Whenever Imp Olite or Imp Udent or Imp Ertinent comes here to bother us, I and my family run into the house and lock all the doors and windows, and we dare not venture out again until the Imps have gone away."
American author and dramatist, Baum is famous as the creator of children's classic tale, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). The magic of Oz was continued in thirteen more novels; the final book, Glinda of Oz, being published posthumously.

Baum also edited and wrote for the Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer. Being a prolific writer, Baum wrote more than 60 books in his lifetime. Using several pen names like Edith Van Dyke, Floyd Akers, and Suzanne Metcalf, he penned several popular books including the Aunt Jane's Nieces series, and the Boy Fortune Hunters' series.
