I believe it was felt that the endpapers wouldn't mean anything to current readers, as Montgomery & Stone aren't the household names they used to be!Bill Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258626254481978155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-68221401349624557022011-08-04T09:10:58.163-05:002011-08-04T09:10:58.163-05:00The Books of Wonder edition of MARVELOUS LAND OF O...The Books of Wonder edition of MARVELOUS LAND OF OZ (at least te earliest ones) omitted the Montgomery-Stone endpapers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-31565993766563596642011-08-02T13:16:49.184-05:002011-08-02T13:16:49.184-05:00Thanks.

I'm not going to devote myself to seeking out (& paying for) a set of firsts (if I were going to I would have by now), but I would like editions with all the illustrations and original text.Glenn Ingersollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674475308395975995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-91108129708610060152011-08-01T09:18:06.403-05:002011-08-01T09:18:06.403-05:00There are only a couple changes that I'm aware...There are only a couple changes that I'm aware of - the dropped Rinkitink illustration you mentioned, and another illustration in Patchwork Girl. In both cases, the character pictured was a Tottenhot, a very stereotypical black native. Patchwork Girl also changed a dialect verse about "coal black Lulu" to "cross-eyed Lulu". All very minor changes, but enough to cause controversy! Otherwise, the differences come down to the physical books themselves - printed covers rather than stamped fabric or paper labels, etc. (actually, the original printings of the BOW Marvelous Land did have a stamped fabric cover). As I say above, this is an excellent set of the books and in a better price range - but the Bradford series is closer to true facsimiles.Bill Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258626254481978155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-41228920550911670382011-07-31T23:25:20.180-05:002011-07-31T23:25:20.180-05:00I know the Rinkitink from Books of Wonder excises ...I know the Rinkitink from Books of Wonder excises an illustration of Tottenhot because it suggests a human being is lesser than an ostrich (even an ostrich wearing spectacles), but I don't know what other differences there are between the BoW books and the originals. Has anybody made a list?Glenn Ingersollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674475308395975995noreply@blogger.com
