In December 1992, I started bringing out an annual series of Dunkiton pamphlets on Oz-related topics, reprints of interesting rare items by Ruth Plumly Thompson, John R. Neill, W. W. Denslow, and others old enough to be in the public domain (with the occasional essay on related topics by me). These cost $2.50 each or $6.00 for three.
Dunkiton #1 (1992), "Some Thompson Sidelights": reprint of RPT's four-part adventure of her Perhappsy Chaps with Santa Claus, including the illustrations by Arthur Henderson, from the Philadelphia Public Ledger; and notes on aspects of RPT's work on the Ledger that didn't get included in my Bugle essay on her work for the paper.
Dunkiton #2 (1993), "Gnome Matters": essay of mine on the history of non-Oz gnomes and round-up of letters by Oz fans on Return to Oz, with illustrations of gnomes by several artists, including a Denslow gnome from The Jewelled Toad.
Dunkiton #3 (1994): "Mermaids": essay of mine on Oz mermaids and reprint of mermaid stories by Thompson and Walt McDougall (the illustrator of Baum's "Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz" comic page), with illustrations by MacDougall, Denslow, and Neill.
Dunkiton #4 (1995), "Robin Hood I": reprint of half of "The Real Robin Hood," an anonymous Public Ledger story illustrated by Neill, and one of RPT's two "Young Robin Hood" tales.
Dunkiton #5 (1996), "Robin Hood II": the rest of "The Real Robin Hood," and "Young Robin Hood."
Dunkiton #6 (1997), "Ads": reprint of Denslow's previously unknown drawings for a Memorial Day ad in the Chicago Daily News, and of RPT's Charms Candy ad poems from the Ledger.
Dunkiton #7 (1998): "Princess of Cozytown I": reprint of title story from RPT's collection of short stories (but including the paragraphs from the newspaper version omitted apparently only for reasons of page lay-out), with the Ledger illustrations by Arthur Henderson. New Year drawing by Frederick Richardson (illustrator of Baum's Queen Zixi of Ix).
Dunkiton #8 (1999): "Princess of Cozytown II": reprint of "The Prince with a Cold in His Heart" and "The Bald-Headed Kingdom" from The Princess of Cozytown (including omitted sections from the newspaper). New Year drawing by Richardson.
Dunkiton #9 (2000): "Princess of Cozytown III": reprint of "The Tailor of Nevermindwhere" from The Princess of Cozytown (including omitted sections). New Year drawing by Richardson.
Dunkiton #10 (2001): "Princess of Cozytown IV": reprint of "The Last Giant" from The Princess of Cozytown (including omitted sections), and 3 short Giants from the Ledger. New Year drawing by Richardson.
Dunkiton #11 (2002): "Princess of Cozytown V": reprint of "The Princess Who Could Not Dance," the final Cozytown story, plus remaining pair of Denslow's Daily News Memorial Day illos and a Neill poem/illo from American Magazine.
Dunkiton #12 (2003): "Spring": reprint of Denslow's previously unknown drawings for an Easter Day ad in the Chicago Daily News and of two springtime playlets by RPT from the Ledger.
