Eight full page color illus and eight full page b&w illus, plus many b&w illus throughout added to text pages, all by W.W. Denslow. Condition notes: A worn, collectible pre-movie edition of the classic work, with the following flaws: spine cocked, spine ends rolled and corners bumped; general wear/staining/discoloration to the green boards. General soiling to edges. Binding loosening with fabric showing at verso front free endpaper. Former owner's name, neatly, in blue pen to head ffep. Interior generally tanned but unmarked, with the exception of illus on p. 18 where Dorothy's braids have been colored in black pen, a job well done, but noticeable. Else scattered occasional interior staining. In providing a date, we have followed Bibliographia Oziana, which provides no more specific printing date than 1920s/1930s, with the copyright dates remaining 1899, 1903. We personally inspect every book we offer.

When Nancy searches through the knapsack of an amnesia victim, she finds an unusual ring. Before long, she is caught up in a second assignment from a beautiful harpist. Nancy's discoveries reveal an important connection between the hospital patient, the harpist, and enemies from abroad.

About Furrowed Brow Books

Furrowed Brow Books was established in 2020. The bookstore's owner, Paul Purman, grew up in an old farmhouse full of books. Paul had been providing online booksales since 2008 through several popular online sales venues. In 2021 Paul was accepted as a member of the Independent Online Booksellers' Association (IOBA), and graduated from the annual Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS-Minnesota).

Furrowed Brow Books' goal is to offer an eclectic selection, while providing specialty offerings in Eastern Orthodoxy and Byzantine civilization, theology, Christian mysticism, science fiction/fantasy (Inklings emphasis), and military history.
