INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Baum, L. Frank

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Robert Ingpen. An appended note describes the illustrator's dissatisfaction with the movie images of Baum's classic. Ingpen's fans will appreciate his attempts to draw "L. Frank Baum's 'Oz' characters and their adventures to be as near to 'real' as I have always wanted them to be." The large book, with its heavy cream-colored paper and approachable pictures, is a handsome version for collectors.
