Baum, L. Frank.

The Tiger's Eye: A Jungle Fairy Tale. Published in "the American Book Collector" Special L. Frank Baum Number.

Chicago & New York: Geo. M. Hill Company, [1969]. [1969]. THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF L. FRANK BAUM'S "THE TIGER'S EYE" - Quarto, 11 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide. Softcover, bound in stapled black & white pictorial self-wraps, illustrated with a portrait of Baum and his books on the front cover. The bottom front corner of the front cover is creased. 32 pages, including the covers, profusely illustrated throughout. There is a small crease to the bottom front corner of several pages. Else, near fine. The first appearance of L. Frank Baum's short story "The Tiger's Eye: A Jungle Fairy Tale". Originally written to be included as one of his series of Animal Fairy Tales which were published in consecutive issues of "The Delineator", Baum wrote "The Tiger's Eye" in 1905 writing in a letter that the story "was intended to be the tenth of the Animal Fairy Tales in a planned book edition". The story was, however, considered too frightening for small children and was not published until it appeared in print in this special L. Frank Baum number of "The American Book Collector". This special number of "The American Book Collector" also includes several essays about Baum and his works. Among them are Russell P. MacFall's "L. Frank Baum - Shadow and Substance", Edward Wagenknecht's "'Utopia Americana' A Generation Afterwards", Martin Gardner's "Why Librarians Dislike Oz", Harry Neal Baum's "How My Father Wrote the Oz Books", and Justin G. Schiller's "The International Wizard of Oz Club". RARE in commerce. Very good .
