"A Short, Short Oz Story" is a brief work by L. Frank Baum. It was originally an inscription that Baum wrote in the copy of The Road to Oz that he gave to his first grandson, Joslyn Stanton Baum, on the baby's first birthday, 14 July 1909. The piece was given a title and published in The Baum Bugle in 1964. An edition of twenty numbered copies was issued by Buckethead Enterprises of Oz in 1994; a second edition followed from Tails of the Cowardly Lion and Friends.
