Description: He examined the contents of the closets and selected an elegant suit of clothing. Strangely enough, everything about it was shaggy, although so new and beautiful, and he sighed with contentment to realize that he could now be finely dressed and still be the shaggy man. "Baum was a true educator, and those who read his Oz books are often made what they were not: imaginative, tolerant, alert to wonders, life." --Gore Vidal. Here we offer the 2011 facsimile of the 1909 heirloom-quality facsimile reproduction of L Frank Baum's classic, The Road to Oz, the fifth book of the Oz series, one of the initial books actually written by Baum prior to his death, published originally by The Reilly and Britton Co., Chicago and densely illustrated by John R. Neill--recreated here in precise detail by Charles Winthrop & Sons, the highest quality facsimile available: large, colorful cloth binding with the best quality pulp, decorative endpapers, and precisely detailed in its reproduction.

Bienvenue, and a color laminated map of the lands of Oz! Excellent, unread condition (please see pics). 261 pages, measures approximately 9.5 x 7-inches.
