Complete and unabridged, with 99 full-page plates by Frederic Edwin Church, Winslow Homer and Sanford Robinson Gifford. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), The Marvelous Land of Oz (1904) and Ozma of Oz (1907), the books in which Baum built the country before it became a franchise. Dorothy's first journey along the yellow brick road; the boy Tip, the Scarecrow's reign and the army of girls; and Dorothy's return by way of a shipwreck, the Nome King and the Deadly Desert. Baum had meant to stop after the first; his readers would not let him. Its 352 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.
