One of my passions is children's literature, particularly the classics.  Many people do not realize that Heidi grew up and had children, that the Fairy Books come in every color in the rainbow or that L. Frank Baum wrote more than a dozen stories about the Land of Oz other than the one that we all know and love from the film.Doma Publishing sent me a copy ofWizard of Oz Illustrated Series: 15 Books, Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Marvelous Land, Dorothy and the Wizard, Road to Oz, Emerald City, Ozma of Oz, Patchwork Girl, Glinda of Oz MORE!one day last week. They've collected all of them in this one volume, complete with all of the original illustrations, many of which are in color - a great addition to your child's library.*I do have one fairly minor complaint that I am sure the folks at Doma will fix posthaste - the Table of Contents in the front of the book is not interactive, so I have page through everything to get to Glinda of Oz.Highly recommended*I'm reminded of a woman I know who buys several lower-cost kindles a year, loads them up with books like thisWizard of Oz Illustrated Series: 15 Books, Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Marvelous Land, Dorothy and the Wizard, Road to Oz, Emerald City, Ozma of Oz, Patchwork Girl, Glinda of Oz MORE!and then distributes them to children she knows. When the kids run out of things to read they bring the Kindles back and she loads them up with more. What a fantastic way to encourage reading!
