Produktbeschreibung

The Woggle-Bug Book has long been the most rare of all of the Oz books written by L. Frank Baum. At the time of publication the Woggle-Bug was an American Icon and wildly popular. There were Woggle-Bug postcards and buttons a Woggle-Bug song and a Woggle-Bug board game from Parker Brothers and a musical play.ONE day Mr. H. M. Woggle-Bug T. E. becoming separated from his comrades who had accompanied him from the Land of Oz and finding that time hung heavy on his hands (he had four of them) decided to walk down the Main street of the City and try to discover something or other of interest. The initials "H. M." before his name meant "Highly Magnified " for this Woggle-Bug was several thousand times bigger than any other woggle-bug you ever saw. And the initials "T. E." after his named meant "Thoroughly Educated"-and so he was in the Land of Oz. But his education being applied to a woggle-bug intellect was not at all remarkable in this country where everything is quite different than Oz. Yet the Woggle-Bug did not suspect this and being like so many other thoroughly educated persons proud of his mental attainments he marched along the street with an air of importance that made one wonder what great thoughts were occupying his massive brain.This edition includes 23 illustration by Ike Morgan.

Autorenporträt

Lyman Frank Baum (1856 - 1919), better known by his pen name L. Frank Baum, was an American author chiefly known for his children's books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels and a host of other works (55 novels in total, plus four "lost works", 83 short stories, over 200 poems, an unknown number of scripts and many miscellaneous writings). His works anticipated such century-later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high risk, action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country) and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).
