  <default_description>&lt;P&gt;In this dazzling tale, L. Frank Baum proves once again his power to delight and enchant readers of all ages. Follow the adventures of a charming new band of characters as they explore the wondrous land of Oz and discover that you learn more by traveling than by staying at home.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Forced to venture out of the dark forest, Unc Nunkie and Ojo the Unlucky call on the Crooked Magician, who introduces them to his latest creation: a living girl made out of patchwork quilts and cotton stuffing. But when an accident leaves beloved Unc Nunkie a motionless statue, it is up to Ojo to save him. In his search for the magic ingredients that will restore his uncle to life, Ojo is joined by the Patchwork Girl and by the conceited Glass Cat, who boasts of her hard ruby heart, the resourceful Shaggy Man, and the lovable block-headed Woozy, whose tail hairs are just one of the things Ojo needs to rescue Une Nunkie.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As they travel to the Emerald City, home of the wise and powerful Ozma, they meet Dorothy, the kind and sensible girl from Kansas; the gallant Scarecrow; and, of course, Toto. But no one proves more loyal than the spirited Patchwork Girl, who, although she was brought to life as a servant, is determined to see the wide world for herself.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Patchwork Girl of Oz&lt;/I&gt; has captivated readers for over eighty years. Now, in this stunning new edition--featuring all fifty-one of John R. Neill's original full-color plates as well as eighty black-and-white illustrations--a whole new generation can discover the beauty and wonder of Oz that have made this classic series an enduring favorite.&lt;/P&gt;Follow the adventures of a charming band of characters as they join Dorothy and the Scarecrow to explore the wondrous Land of Oz. Meet a living girl made out of patchwork quilts, a conceited Glass Cat, and the lovable block-headed Woozy. A favorite for over eighty years, this stunning facsimile of the rare fist edition features all fifty-one of Neill's full-color plates as well as eighty black-and-white illustrations.

    <body><![CDATA[This is my favorite Oz book so far!  I just finished reading it to Elijah, and I can't believe I have never read it before.  The Patchwork Girl is wonderful---funny, spunky, sassy, and not afraid to speak her mind and love herself.  Of course, the others keep telling her she is crazy, which is how s...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65985949">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[How I loved this--and all the other &quot;Oz&quot; books by Frank Baum, and then those by Ruth Plumly Thompson!  I have such fond memories of checking out the THICK green volumes one by one from my hometown library, and when I had finished reading all the copies they had available, I would start all...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17561457">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Baum was forced to return to the Oz series due to some financial pressures.  And aren't we glad he did.  The series was floundering a bit with the 4th and 5th installments, but was tightened up with the 6th and presumably final installment.  This, I think, was a boon to rest of the series.<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36047385">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was the first Oz book I read and the one I remember best. It started me on the rest of the series. What I love most about Oz is the bizarre creatures--the Woozy is a great example. But my favorite by far is Bungle the Glass Cat. I loved that cat and was furious that Baum changed its personality...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20538086">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Of the 14 Oz books written by Baum (some quibble &amp; say there were really only 12 or 13), this is one of the best! The characters, especially &quot;I hate dignity!&quot; Scraps, an enormous patchwork doll come to life, are hilarious, the adventures fascinating, even some of the social structure of Oz...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24595550">more...</a>]]></body>
