The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Centennial Edition
by L. Frank Baum

100th Anniversary Edition
The only
edition authorized by the L. Frank Baum Family Trust.
With new and
classic illustrations plus
fully annotated with essays by major Oz experts.
The quintessential
American fantasy celebrates its 100th anniversary in this definitive
edition.
More
than a children's story, Oz stands as a demarcation point between
American's rural past and urban future, harmoniously uniting a democratic
spirit and a utopian vision with a prescient dark undercurrent that
foreshadowed the Great Depression.
This
centennial edition, elegantly designed for all ages, includes rare
and illuminating materials of interest to both first-time Oz readers
and bibliophiles alike.
Essays
about L. Frank Baum's classic, its impact and enduring appeal accompany
the text, and feature revealing critical and biographical information.
Among the authors are luminaries Ray Bradbury, Gore Vidal, and James
Thurber.
This
is the first in a series of definitive new and collectible Oz editions
prepared in conjunction with The Baum Family Trust.
