A "Must Have" for any fan of OZ books
This book is a wonderful reproduction of the very first run of the very first edition of this book. When "The Emerald City of Oz" was first published, a special metalic green ink was used on the cover, and on the illustrations throughout. However, after the first printing run, it was determined that this ink was far too expensive to continue with, and so a regular green ink was used. This special edition from "Books Of Wonder" very faithfully reproduces the book as it was originally printed, including the use of a metallic green ink. Other OZ books from books of wonder are similarly faithfull in being full reproductions of the first editions.

Dorothy returns to Oz
Dorothy's return to the Land of Oz,along with her Uncle and Aunt-who finaly believe her stories-is a must for anyone who reads the Oz series.Dorothy had gone to Oz before(four times in all,if you know the other stories)but this is when she settles in Oz and becomes a princess.She could even have been a co-ruler,along with Ozma.Living in Oz was Dorothy's secret dream,and now that her Unlce Henry(who was about to retire from farming) and Aunt Em have come with her,Oz becomes Home for Dorothy.Home is truly where your loved ones are.

Another great Oz story
Possibly one of my favorite Oz books. Everyone should be reading these stories for the child inside them.
