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 ten more books in the series until his death in 1919. The series was then continued by a number of other people. THE WONDER CITY OF OZ written & illustrated by JOHN R. NEILL John R. Neill illustrated thirteen of Baum's fourteen Oz books, as well as all the sequels written by Ruth Plumly Thompson Then he went on to write three Oz books of his own, also illustrating those. The book was originally published in 1940. This particular copy is a reprint from Books Of Wonder, who reprinted all of Baum's original series, as well as selected spin-offs, such as this. This was bought new and is in very good condition. I take excellent care of my books in my smoke-free environment.
