A facsimile reproduction (in trade paperback by Rand McNally - date not stated) of the book first published in 1904 including the original John R. Neill illustrations.

Pictorial cover, cloth over paper wraps. Corners bumped, a little edge wear, a little soiling to back cover and edges. Upper edge of the first few pages is a bit wavy, possibly a bit of dampness. Overall a nice copy with b/w illustrations throughout. "This sequel to The Wizard of Oz deals entirely with the early history of Oz. No one from the United States or any other part of the 'great outside world' appears in it. It takes its readers on a series of incredible adventures with Tip, a small boy who runs away from old Mombi, the witch, taking with him Jack Pumkinhead and the wooden Saw Horse. The Scarecrow is King of the Emerald City until he, Tip, Jack and the Tin Woodman are forced to flee the royal palace when it is invaded by General Jinjur and her army of rebelling girls. The Land of Oz ends with an amazing surprise, and from that moment on Ozma is princess of all Oz."
