Collectible- Tik-Tok of Oz by L Frank Baum

Tik-Tok of Oz (1914) is the eighth book in L. Frank Baum’s celebrated Oz series, first published in 1914. It holds a special place in Oz lore for several reasons:

The book features Tik-Tok, a mechanical man who is considered one of literature’s earliest robots, predating the term itself. Tik-Tok had previously appeared in “Ozma of Oz,” but this book further develops his character.

This edition was the first to include a map of Oz and its neighboring countries, a feature that became popular with readers and collectors.

As part of the original Oz series, it is a touchstone for collectors of children’s literature and early fantasy. The book also draws from Baum’s stage musical “The Tik-Tok Man of Oz,” blending new adventures with familiar characters.

As part of the “Famous Forty” Oz books, it is a must-have for collectors and fans of the series, continuing the legacy of Baum’s world of fancy and adventure.

The book features vibrant illustrations by Neill, whose artwork is synonymous with the Oz series.

This edition is highly sought after by collectors & Oz enthusiasts.
