Description: Most people know about OZ from the 1939 MGM classic movie, starring Judy Garland. But the true story of OZ started with the first book, THE WIZARD OF OZ, by L. Frank Baum, published in 1900. He wrote thirteen more books in the series until his death in 1919. The series was then continued by a number of other people. LITTLE WIZARD STORIES OF OZ written by L. FRANK BAUM introduction by MICHAEL PATRICK HEARN cover art and interior art by John R. Neill According to Hearn's introduction, this collection of short stories were first issued as individual volumes in 1913 and all together as one book in 1914. They feature some of Baum's classic Oz characters, but are aimed at a slightly younger audience. They do not repeat any content from his longer books. As always, the lively illustrations of John R. Neill add so much to the pleasure of reading here. This was bought new and is in good condition. I take excellent care of my books in my smoke-free environment, but the quality of the paper has not held up that well as it aged Notes on condition: cover: glossy, stiff paper clean & crisp; no marks or dents; 1/8-in paper surface tear top of spine at front cover edge; spine is not creased; insides of cover definitely show age discoloration interior pages: clean & crisp; no marks or rips; faint discoloration from aging around the edges of pages glued binding: all pages secure Please see photos to get a sense of the condition, contents and lovely art.
