The Annotated Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

5.0

---

If you have read and loved The Wizard of Oz, you will want to read and love this gorgeous hardcover that reprints the text and drawings in their original colors. A hearty and well-illustrated biography of Baum and the history of the Oz books starts out the book, and it closes off with the same treatment for the book's illustrator W. W. Denslow. The book itself is thoroughly annotated with mostly interesting and relevant historical, critical, and biographical notes about the text of this classic children's book and its impact on American culture.
