Now, Michael Patrick Hearn, author of the best-selling The Annotated Wizard of Oz, thoroughly reexamines the 116-year heritage of that archetypal American boy, Huck Finn, & follows his adventures along every bend of the mighty Mississippi River. Hearn's copious annotations draw on primary sources including the original manuscript, Twain's revisions & letters, & period accounts. Reproducing the original E.W. Kemble illustrations from the first edition, as well as countless archival photographs & drawings, some of them previously unpublished, The Annotated Huckleberry Finn is a book no family's library can do without; it may well prove to be the classic edition of the great American novel. * ABOUT MARK TWAIN: SAMUEL LANGHORNE CLEMENS (1835-1910), best known to the world by his pen-name Mark Twain, was an author and humorist, noted for his novels The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), which has been called "the Great American Novel" & The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) & many others. * ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR: EDWARD WINSOR KEMBLE (1861-1933) was born in Sacramento, California. An American cartoonist and illustrator, Kemble was commissioned by Mark Twain to illustrate the original edition of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

His books include From the Silver Age to Stalin: Russian Children's Book Illustration & The Porcelain Cat; he has edited The Victorian Fairy Tale Book, The Annotated Wizard of Oz, The Annotated Christmas Carol, & The Annotated Huckleberry Finn. He lives in New York City. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "For 100 years, the argument that this novel 'is' has been identified, reidentified, waged & advanced. What it cannot be is dismissed. It is classic literature, which is to say it heaves, manifests, & lasts." -Toni Morrison. Illustrated w/ the original illustrations by E.W. Kemble & w/ hundreds of archival photographs & drawings (illustrateur). …

"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is the quintessential American fairy tale. Michael Patrick Hearn (the world's leading Oz scholar) provides a fascinating new annotation that not only reacquaints readers w/ the Tin Woodman, Scarecrow, & Cowardly Lion, but also illuminates the colorful background of this American classic. This edition explores numerous contemporary references, provides character sources, & explains the actual meaning of the word "Oz." A facsimile of the rare 1900 first edition appears w/ the orig. drawings by W.W. Denslow, as well as 25 previously unpublished illustrations. There is a bibliography of L. Frank Baum's published work, every notable "Oz" edition, & the stage & cinematic productions from 1939's "The Wizard of Oz" to the 1974 Broadway hit "The Wiz". A beautiful, awe-inspiring work, "The Annotated Wizard of Oz" is an enduring tribute to the timeless joy of "The Wizard of Oz", & a classic to rival Baum's own. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: L. FRANK BAUM (1856-1919) was an American author, poet, playwright, actor, & independent filmmaker best known today as the creator (along with illustrator W.W. Denslow) of one of the most popular books in American children's literature, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". He wrote 13 "Oz" sequels, 9 other fantasy novels, & a plethora of other works, & brought several of his works to the stage and screen. His is known to his fans as "The Royal Historian of Oz." / MICHAEL PATRICK HEARN has written for the NYT, The Nation, & many other publications. His books include "From the Silver Age to Stalin: Russian Children's Book Illustration" & "The Porcelain Cat"; he has edited "The Victorian Fairy Tale Book", "The Annotated Wizard of Oz", "The Annotated Christmas Carol", & "The Annotated Huckleberry Finn". Hearn lives in New York City. / W.W. DENSLOW (1856-1915) was a prolific illustrator, cartoonist, & caricaturist, best remembered for his work in collaboration with author L. Frank Baum, especially his illustrations of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", the first of the "Oz" books. An editorial cartoonist w/ a strong interest in politics, Denslow also illustrated his own books including "Denslow's Mother Goose" (1901), "Denslow's Night Before Christmas" (1902) and the 18-volume "Denslow's Picture Books" series (1903-4). The royalties from the print & stage versions of "The Wizard of Oz" were sufficient to allow Denslow to purchase Bluck's Island in Bermuda, & crown himself King Denslow I. However, he drank his money away & died in obscurity, of pneumonia. / MARTIN GARDNER (1914-2010) is regarded as one of the world's leading experts on Lewis Carroll & his work. The author of more than 100 books, he wrote the "Mathematical Games" column for Scientific American for 25 yrs & has been hailed by Douglas Hofstadter as "one of the great intellects produced in this country in this century." * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a nominal additional fee & via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international shipments at our posted rates.
