1939 The Road To Oz, Junior Edition Children's Book Frank Baum

$20.00

One of a number of abridged editions of Oz books I have available by L. Frank Baum, this is the 1939 Junior edition of The Road To Oz, published especially for children. With a total of 62 numbered pages, a child could delight in the imaginative storyline accompanied by 12 pages of color illustrations of Dorothy, the wizard, lion, even an appearance by Santa Claus! and a number of other drawings in black and white. The last (unnumbered) page of the book shows a bottom notation of CS 6-39, indicating a 1939 midyear printing.

This book was obviously read and loved, but is still in very good condition at 70 years of age. The cover and its corners are worn, and there is a short buckling at the top of the pages near the spine (it looks as though something thin and/or sharp jabbed in between the covers), but all pages are present and generally in very good condition. The front inside cover has a dated inscription from 1939 confirming this was a birthday gift "from Mother".

Published by Rand McNally & Company, through a special arrangement with Reilly & Lee, the publishers of the complete edition.

Interested in any of the other Oz books I have available? I'm always happy to combine shipping.
