Made Day Before Yesterday
Pictures by W. W. DenslowWords by L. Frank Baum
Dorothy, Toto and the Scarecrow rest beside a stream in W. W. Denslow's colour plate, with the Scarecrow's line from L. Frank Baum: I was only made day before yesterday. The art comes from the first Oz book as printed in 1900, before the famous film existed. For someone who loves a classic story and a gentle bit of humour.
