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".

First edition.

Bourachot [30] describes this volume as a vitally important record, supplemented by letters, dispatches and telegrams.

Francois Achille Bazaine [1811-1888] was an officer of the French army. He rose through the ranks from Fusilier to Marshal of France during four decades of distinguished service, first under Louis-Philippe and then Napoleon III. He became renowned for his determination to lead from the front, for his impassive demeanor under fire and for personal bravery verging on recklessness, which resulted in his being wounded on numerous occasions and having his horse shot from under him twice. From 1863 he was Marshal of France and in this role surrendered the last organized French army to Prussia during the siege of Metz in the Franco-Prussian war. Imprisoned by the Third Republic after the war, he escaped and settled in Spain where he died alone and impoverished. To the Foreign Legion he remains a hero and is still honored as one of their bravest soldiers. Good .

Beach, Rex (1877-1949). American novelist, playwright, and Olympic water polo player.

Autograph: The Close from a Letter Signed by the Novelist, Playwright and Olympic Water Polo Player Rex Beach.

- A 1-1/2 inch high by 4-3/4 inch wide piece of paper clipped from the bottom of a letter, with the words "Sincerely yours" typed in closing signed by Rex Beach in black ink. The once folded paper has been mounted onto heavier black stock, likely clipped from an album. Good.

The American novelist, playwright and Olympic water polo player Rex Beach (1877-1949) studied law before moving to Alaska at the time of the Klondike Gold Rush. He turned to writing after he was unsuccessful as a prospector basing his stories on his experiences as a prospector. His novel "The Spoilers" was based on his experience with corrupt government officials stealing gold mines from prospectors. Beach's works were inspired by Jack London and, though popular in their day, were also criticized as being simply tales of "strong hairy men doing strong hairy deeds". Good .
