Frank Baum tried to duplicate the success of his hit stage show The Wizard of Oz with The Woggle-Bug, a dramatization of The Marvelous Land of Oz. It "failed to woggle," as one critic put it, and it only ran for a few months. But now the sheet music from the show has been collected in this volume. Also included are a reprint of the original program book for the show, contemporary reviews, articles, photographs, an appendix of several songs from Chapin's 1902 hit show The Storks, and a foreword by David Maxine.

This is an important, historic collection of early Oz and comic materials.
