Excerpt from The Woggle-Bug Book, 1905: A Facsimile Reproduction With an Introduction
The woggle-bug Book is the least known of Lyman Frank Baum's fantasies for children. Scholarly and popular books on Baum usually mention the story only in passing.2 In part, scholarly neglect results from the fact that The woggle-bug Book is extraordinarily rare, owned by few collectors and fewer libraries; and the reader who is lucky enough to locate the book soon realizes that it is not of the quality of Baum's major works. The woggle-bug Book, however, is important not for its artistic power (which is negligible) but for the light that it sheds on Baum's writing at an important period in his career.
