An interesting addition to any Oz book collection
This book is purported to be a reproduction of the hardcover original edition of 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' (written by L. Frank Baum & published by George M. Hill in 1900 in Chicago)... but in 'Latin' instead of English. The book was published in 1986 by Scolar Press and translated into Latin by C. J. Hinke & George Van Buren. Apparently, the book was created to serve as a learning tool for students of Latin, but it is often considered an interesting addition to an OZ book collection by fans of the Oz books.
The book is well done but at only 7&1/4 X 5&3/4 X 1 inches, some may be disappointed to find that the book is about two-thirds the size of the original Oz books. Nonetheless, it is an interesting conversation piece and will likely become more and more collectible over the years, even among those who do not read Latin.
