The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (also published as The Wizard of Oz). Where it all began. Dorothy is whisked from her Kansas home to a strange new world, meets three good friends, and has many adventures before she finds her way home again. If you only know this story from The Movie, you are in for some surprises when you read this book.

The Marvelous Land of Oz (also published as The Land of Oz), illustrated by John R. Neill. Tip, a young Gillikin boy, runs away from his cruel guardian, the wicked witch Mombi. He meets up with the Scarecrow (now ruler of the Emerald City), the Tin Woodman, many new friends, and an army of girls who want to overthrow the Scarecrow. Before it's over, Tip finds out that he is part of a dark secret from Oz's past.

Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz: The Complete Comic Strip Saga 1904-1905. For the first time since their original newspaper publications, all of L. Frank Baum's newspaper comic pages are collected in their original form, at full size, in color. This book also collects W. W. Denslow's competing comic, "Denslow's Scarecrow and the Tin-Man," plus other early Oz comics and works by "Queer Visitors" artist Walt MacDougall, Denslow, and even John R. Neill. This is an important, historic collection of early Oz and comic materials.

The Visitors from Oz by L. Frank Baum. The complete text of Baum's 1904-1905 "Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz" comic page, and The Woggle-Bug Book, all in one volume. Yes, these are the complete adventures of the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Jack Pumpkinhead, Sawhorse, Woggle-Bug, and Gump in the strange and distant land of America. They even visit Dorothy in Kansas. (This should not be confused with the 1961 picture book of the same name that was an adaptation of some of the "Queer Visitors" comics, nor the novel of the same name by Martin Gardner. Please note that this book contains some racial and ethnic stereotypes that were considered amusing to many in Baum's time, but are now badly outdated and offensive to some people today. Therefore, this book is not recommended for young children.)

The Woggle-Bug Book, illustrated by Ike Morgan. The mis-adventures of the Woggle-Bug, first introduced in The Marvelous Land of Oz, in a strange and distant land called America. (NOTE: This book contains some racial and ethnic stereotypes that were considered amusing to many in Baum's time, but are now badly outdated and offensive to some people today. Therefore, this book is not recommended for young children.)

Ozma of Oz, illustrated by John R. Neill. Dorothy Gale, on a voyage at sea, is tossed overboard during a storm. She is washed ashore at Ev, a country neighboring Oz, where she meets up with her old friends the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion.
