The Illustrated copy of The Woggle-Bug Book. The Woggle-Bug Book is a 1905 childrens book, written by L. Frank Baum, creator of the Land of Oz, and illustrated by Ike Morgan. 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. The book grew out of another promotional project, Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz (1904-5), a popular comic strip that promoted Baums second Oz book, The Marvelous Land of Oz (1904). The comic strip, written by Baum and illustrated by Walt McDougall, brought Oz characters including the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and others to the United States for various humorous adventures. The Woggle-Bug Book employs the same concept: H. M. Woggle-Bug, T. E. is shown maladjusted to life in an unnamed American city. The books artist, Ike Morgan, was a Chicago cartoonist who had earlier provided illustrations for Baums American Fairy Tales (1901). Odins Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankinds literature from throughout the ages. Carefully selected, each work is unabridged from classic works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or drama.
