5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a classic, October 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Magical Monarch of Mo (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback)

This was one of my favorite books as a child and having recently reread it, I must say it works on an adult level as well. It's very imaginative and funny and shows what Baum could do when he let his imagination run away with him. I think it's better than any of the Oz books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dover pbk edition with color plates, January 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Magical Monarch of Mo (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback)

Dover edition does have color plates, in fact "all 15 of the full-page color plates and all of the more than 100 line drawings prepared by Frank Ver Beck for the first two editions [1900 and 1903]." This is a collection of 14 "surprises." But Mo, the land where these stories all take place, is like Oz in many ways. It is a land of enchantment where marvelous tings hapen, where people do not die, and where animals can talk. The landscape of Mo abounds in things children love to ear, and everything anyone wants grows from its trees. It was published (as A New Wonderland) the same year as the original Wizard of Oz.
