run
away. Soon they meet the Animated Saw-Horse, on whom they ride, and then
the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. Thereafter one adventure follows fast
upon another until the travelers, by the aid of the wonderful Gump,
reach the palace of Glinda the Good, who lifts from Tip the spell of the
old witch--with a most astonishing result.

"The Land of Oz" was the first of Mr. Baum's books to be illustrated by
John R. Neill, now a noted artist. Mr. Neill's wonderful success in
picturing the peculiar creations of the author led to a permanent
alliance between these two favorites of the children, and all of Mr.
Baum's later books have been adorned with Mr. Neill's pictures. In the
Land of Oz are about one hundred and fifty black-and-white illustrations
and sixteen charming full-page pictures in colors.

Ozma of Oz

As one little girl said, this is a "_real Ozzy_" book. It tells "more
about Little Dorothy," and introduces the Yellow Hen, Tiktok, the Hungry
Tiger, the Nome King, and many other remarkable personages. Our old
friends, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, play prominent parts.

There is a frightful storm at sea, during which Dorothy and Billina, the
Yellow Hen, are cast ashore. Here, after escaping the Wheelers, they
come across the mechanical man, Tiktok, and the three proceed through
the Land of Ev to the palace of a wicked princess, where they are all
imprisoned. They are rescued by Ozma, the Cowardly Lion, the Hungry
Tiger, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. All then proceed to the realm
of the Nome King to effect the release of the Royal Family of Ev, who
have been enchanted by that cross old monarch. This done, after many
trials and difficulties, the adventurers return to the Emerald City,
where at a great feast the Hungry Tiger loses his appetite!

Billina is one of Mr. Baum's most delightful characters. All readers
will enjoy her wit and humor, which is backed up with much sound sense.
The Hungry Tiger is a worthy companion to our old friend, the Cowardly
Lion.

For Ozma of Oz, Mr. Neill made forty-one full page colored pictures,
twenty-two half pages in color, and more than fifty text illustrations,
besides special end-sheets and other decorations. It is one of the most
gorgeous of children's books.

Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz

First thing--bang! And an earthquake drops Dorothy and Zeb, her boy
companion, through the earth's crust plumb into the Glass City. Here
they soon meet the
