Condition: Very good plus. Early printing of the children's fantasy novel by Baum published in the early days of his Oz success (and considered by many critics to be within the Oz universe). Fairies, knights, and dragons populate this ever so slightly more traditional fantasy tale by Baum, though with a number of elements that remind readers of Oz - including a magician who is a fraud. At this early period, Baum was basking in the success of THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ and its theatrical adaptation, but still experimenting with fantasies adjacent to Oz rather than squarely within what would become an epochal franchise. THE ENCHANTED ISLAND OF YEW's richly envisioned realm hearkens back to the stories of Arthurian romance, but is tinged with a humor and imagination that fit well into the wider Oz universe: appropriately, it is "a few miles off the east coast of Oz" on the International Wizard of Oz Club's official map of countries near Oz. Original tan pictorial cloth stamped in orange and purple/grey, spine lettering in orange (Bienvenue 1906-8 printing). Blank endpapers. Illustrated by Fanny Y. Cory with lovely color plates plus in-text black-and-white images. [10], 242 pages. Early bookseller ticket and small owner emboss to front fly leaf. Spine a touch toned, with a few small spots to cloth. Offsetting to endpapers, else interior largely clean.
