From January till September 1905.
L. Frank Baum's Animal Fairy Tales appear in The Delineator magazine.
For several decades in the twentieth century, the collection was a "lost" book by Baum; it resurfaced when the International Wizard of Oz Club published the stories in one volume in 1969.

technicat reviewed Bao and Dim Sum by Orathay Souksisavanh
gorgeous bao
4 stars
This book is short on short on story, both autobiographical and food-wise, which is what I read cookbooks for, so I just skimmed it, but the recipes are detailed, including the usual explanatory ingredient lists in Asian cookbooks, and plenty of technique on creating bao wrappers and the like. The photos are gorgeous and the bao range from traditional classics (or classic traditions?) to some interesting variations (cod and chorizon?), but all them have their names listed in Chinese so they look legit (and it's good Chinese reading practice).
