Pseudonym of L. Frank Baum, named after his maternal uncle, Schuyler Stanton. Baum wanted to diversify beyond children's books, and his publisher, Reilly & Britton, wanted to appear to have a larger stable of authors. While Baum was not their only author, he was their star and most prolific, and he supplied five different pseudonyms for them, and he used a few other pseudonyms as well. He published only two books under the name Schuyler Staunton, The Fate of a Crown and Daughters of Destiny. His subsequent adult novel, The Last Egyptian had no author credit, and his fourth, Tamawaca Folks was published under the pseudonym John Estes Cooke. Baum pushed Reilly & Britton to publish several other adult novels under his own name, Our Married Life (1912), Johnson (1912), The Mystery of Bonita (1914), and Molly Oodle (1915), but they were rejected. There is evidence that the manuscripts existed and were not simply planned, but they have not been found.
