The Woggle-Bug Book by L. Frank Baum Fiction Classics Fantasy Fairy Tales Folk Tales Legends & Mythology

One day Mr. H. M. Woggle-Bug became separated from his comrades who had accompanied him from the Land of Oz. Finding that time hung heavy on his hands -- and he had four of them! -- he decided to walk down the Main Street of the City and try to discover something-or-other of interest. So begins the adventures of the largest Woggle-Bug you have ever seen -- if you have ever seen even one -- in a thoroughly modern 1905 American city -- strutting down the street his pink handkerchief in hand his cane swirling . . . only to fall in love with the most stirringly enchanting beauty in a window! The Woggle-Bugs befuddled heart will lead him into a twisting series of adventures from a ride in a balloon to run-ins with weasels -- and kings! It has long been one of the rarest items in the Baum bibliography. Baums text has been controversial for its use of ethnic humor stereotypes.
