In 1886, fourteen years before The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was published, Baum's first book - The Book of the Hamburgs - made its debut. Now, over a century later, this first and rarest of Baum's books is once again available in a handsome reproduction of the nearly unobtainable original edition.
A guide for farmers on how to raise Hamburg chickens, The Book of the Hamburgs shows the start of Baum's folksy, humorous writing style. The book is filled with cheerful encouragement for chicken farmers. After reading only a few pages of The Book of the Hamburgs, you'll understand Baum's affinity for Billina!
For nearly a century, most Oz fans couldn't hope of ever even seeing - much less owning - a copy of The Book of the Hamburgs since only a handful of the original printing survive. But now, you can add this rarest of all Baum works to your library.
