Illustrated by
Lisbeth Zwerger.
Afterword by Erin Stead. An edition of Baum's classic fantasy first published in 1996 is reissued with a new afterword. The illustrations, many of them full-page paintings, showcase Zwerger's distinctive style in a way that fits the text. This is a successful re-imagining of a well-loved story.
