Synopsis "The Woggle-Bug Book: Illustrated "

The Illustrated copy of The Woggle-Bug Book. The Woggle-Bug Book is a 1905 children's book, written by L. Frank Baum, creator of the Land of Oz, and illustrated by Ike Morgan. It has long been one of the rarest items in the Baum bibliography. Baum's text has been controversial for its use of ethnic humor stereotypes. The book grew out of another promotional project, Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz (1904-5), a popular comic strip that promoted Baum's second Oz book, The Marvelous Land of Oz (1904). The comic strip, written by Baum and illustrated by Walt McDougall, brought Oz characters including the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and others to the United States for various humorous adventures. The Woggle-Bug Book employs the same concept: H. M. Woggle-Bug, T. E. is shown maladjusted to life in an unnamed American city. The book's artist, Ike Morgan, was a Chicago cartoonist who had earlier provided illustrations for Baum's American Fairy Tales (1901). Odin's Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages. Carefully selected, each work is unabridged from classic works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or drama.

L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) was a prolific American author, mainly known for his contributions to children's literature. His most famous work, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), is considered a classic of children's literature and has been adapted multiple times into film, theater, and television. Baum wrote numerous books that are part of the Oz series, with titles such as The Land of Oz (1904) and Ozma of Oz (1907), all within the fantasy genre. In addition to his Oz works, Baum ventured into other genres such as theater, fairy tales, and novels.
