Curiously enough, in the events which have taken place in the last fewyears in our "great outside world," we may find incidents so marvelousand inspiring that I cannot hope to equal them with stories of The Landof Oz.
However, "The Magic of Oz" is really more strange and unusual thananything I have read or heard about on our side of The Great SandyDesert which shuts us off from The Land of Oz, even during the pastexciting years, so I hope it will appeal to your love of novelty.
A long and confining illness has prevented my answering all the goodletters sent me—unless stamps were enclosed—but from now on I hope tobe able to give prompt attention to each and every letter with which myreaders favor me.
Assuring you that my love for you has never faltered and hoping the OzBooks will continue to give you pleasure as long as I am able to writethem, I am
Yours affectionately,
L. FRANK BAUM,
"Royal Historian of Oz."
