About This Book
"The Happiest Who's Who Ever Written"
-Original advertising slogan for book in 1954.
Â
Who's Who in Oz is an illustrated index of nearly every character that ever appeared in the first 39 Oz books.
Â
Who's Who in Oz is Wonderful in its scope and reach; author, Jack Snow, did a remarkable job gathering these characters together and his descriptions or as he calls them " informal introductions to over six hundred and thirty Oz characters- people, animals, and creatures- with hints on the parts they play in the thirty-nine Oz books" show a foremost Oz scholar, and excellent writer himself,  at work. Each character description also has a reference telling you the first page on which this character appeared, and in which Oz book.
          Â
There are many black and white illustrations, by John R. Neill, Frank Kramer and "Dirk", that give us a delightful glimpse into the truly amazing, imaginative world of OZ.
