Description

L. Frank Baum (au); William Stout (il); W. W. Denslow (il).

This centennial edition, elegantly designed for all ages, includes rare & illuminating materials of interest to both first-time Oz readers & bibliophiles alike. Essays about L. Frank Baum’s classic, its impact & enduring appeal accompany the text, & feature revealing critical & biographical information. Among the authors are: Ray Bradbury, Gore Vidal, John Updike, & Nicholas Von Hoffman. Includes a biography of Baum by Oz scholars. Black 7 white illustrations.
