5.0 out of 5 stars "The Happiest Who's Who Ever Written", September 27, 2000
By 
Larry Bridges "thebachelor" (Arlington, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Who's Who in Oz (Hardcover)
The above phrase was Reilly & Lee's advertising slogan for this book when it was published in the 1950's, and it's still true today. This is one of the best books ever written about Oz, and represents a herculean effort on Jack Snow's part. It contains listings describing nearly every character who appeared in the first 39 Oz books (from "Wizard" through "Hidden Valley") and stating on which page of which book each character first appeared. It also contains brief biographical sketches of all the authors and illustrators of the first 39 Oz books and short blurbs describing the plots of those books. It is illustrated with pictures taken from all of the books (except, if I remember correctly, "Wizard," since Reilly & Lee were not publishing that book at the time and did not have the rights to the Denslow illustrations). This book is simply a joy to browse through, especially since if one has not read all the books it covers it offers tantalizing hints about them...
