This book would be a steal at ten times the price! A priceless treasure Doma Publishing House's edition of Wizard of Oz Illustrated is quite honestly priceless. It contains all the original books from L. Frank Baum's wonderfully successful Wizard of Oz series, along with all the original artwork created for the story by W.W. Denslow.The Wizard of Oz Illustrated contains all fourteen books in the series spanning a period of twenty years from the Wizard of Oz, originally published in 1900 to the posthumously published Glenda of Oz, which was released in 1920. It also includes the charming Oz story The Woggle Bug Book.This collection is truly wonderful and brings to life the author's original vision through the combination of his story and the artwork of Denslow. The illustrations are charming and truly bring the story to life. The books are all hyperlinked from the table of contents and one may read them in any order they prefer, as each story is stand alone, but it is best to read them in the order in which they are written as the books build upon one another.I give the Doma Publishing House edition of the Wizard of Oz Illustrated my highest recommendation and suggest that it be purchased as a family book for young and old alike will enjoy the magical stories of a bygone era and the imagination that brought Oz to life for hundreds of thousands.
