The Woggle-Bug Book, circa 1905




The Wogglebug Book was published in 1905, during L. Frank Baum's attempt to turn The Marvelous Land of Oz into a musical . Very few of these exist for they were fragile and rare.Baum collaberated on also writing songs for the woggle bug and various buttons were issued to go along with the publication. There was a play and a contest in the newspaper regarding the story also.There were two states of this book. The first state has a blank back cover and the second state has a yellow marking on the back. Very rare in any condition.
