Chicago: George M. Hill Co, 1899. Decorative Boards. Very Good. W.W. Denslow. A solid, well-preserved copy of the September 1899 1st edition. Tight and VG in its Denslow-illustrated beige boards, with light offsetting and scuffing at the panels. One small, thin crease running vertically as well from the rear panel's top-edge.

Quarto, an unqualified success from the Baum-Denslow tandem, paving the way for their next project, a minor effort that some in the children's field may know, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz"
