If Ever You Need Us
Pictures by W. W. DenslowWords by L. Frank Baum
Dorothy, the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow meet the field mice in W. W. Denslow's plate, with the mouse Queen's promise from L. Frank Baum: if ever you need us, call, and we shall come. The pictures come from the first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, printed in Chicago in 1900 with Denslow's colour plates, long before the film. For a friend who can always count on you.
