PIRATES IN OZ

Chicago: Reilly & Lee, 1931. Very good plus.. First edition of the 25th Oz book, with a male protagonist - one of Thompson's decidedly post-Baumian innovations. 9'' x 6.5''. Original green cloth with pictorial paste-on, publisher spine imprint in bold face. All edges tinted yellow. Pictorial endpapers. 12 color plates and additional black-and-white illustrations by Neill. 280 pages. Light rubbing to binding, with a bit of spotting to spine. Title page somewhat foxed, with typical toning to endpapers, else largely clean.
