Eltanin Publishing's Oz Series - #9~~ includes ALL the original illustrations (over 110) by John R. Neill, many of them in color, and a new Preface by Oz expert and Eltanin Editor Joseph Nusbaum. ~~From the Editor’s Preface:"The ninth Oz book in the series, The Scarecrow of Oz, was Baum’s personal favorite. The reason Baum loved the book so dearly is likely because he incorporated so many story elements he was passionate about. Baum moved to Hollywood four years earlier, and in a few short years it had transformed into the motion picture capital of America. When Baum wrote Scarecrow in 1914, he was heavily involved in this new industry, having co-founded The Oz Film Manufacturing Co. Earlier that year, Baum had already adapted The Patchwork Girl of Oz into a film, modified from the book to include a love story for a broader audience..."The Scarecrow of Oz is the 9th book in the Oz series.
