L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) produced a rich array of fairy tales, fantasy, and whimsy, including fourteen full-length Oz books. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz however, remains the most popular and enduring of all. One of the best-known and most-read books in the world, it is still considered ""the quintessential American fairy tale."" Michael McCurdy's richly evocative illustrations grace more than 160 books for children and adults alike, including American Tall Tales, The Man Who Planted Trees, Tarzan, The Sailor's Alphabet, and Trapped by the Ice: Shackleton's Amazing Antarctic Adventure. Ray Bradbury, one of America's most popular and widely respected writers, is the author of classics such as The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451, and The Illustrated Man.

A delightful volume illustrated with haunting but witty illustrations that provide a fresh, anti-Hollywood interpretation of the story. - Christian Science Monitor; ""Combines substance with style. Ray Bradbury offers a poetic, reverential introduction, and Michael McCurdy contributes appropriately eerie drawings."" - Chicago Tribune; The Wonderful Wizard of Oz remains one of the world's most beloved and widely read books. Throughout a century of remarkable change, the popularity of L. Frank Baum's classic tale has endured and grown, embraced by generation after generation of children and the young at heart. This special anniversary edition combines Baum's original text with the contributions of two renowned artists: book illustrator Michael McCurdy and writer Ray Bradbury.
