Never Mind the Patch
Pictures by W. W. DenslowWords by L. Frank Baum
Dorothy sits among the Munchkins with Toto at her feet in W. W. Denslow's plate from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and inside the Tin Woodman receives his heart with L. Frank Baum's words, "I am very grateful to you, and shall never forget your kindness." The pictures come from Baum's first Oz book as printed in Chicago in 1900, long before the famous film. For someone whose kindness you will not forget.
