Description: First printing of this Oz story that finds Ozma, the Wizard, and other rulers whisked away by a suspicious man and a magical horse. THE WISHING HORSE OF OZ is the final Oz title to feature color plates: due to cost-cutting, the books that followed were only published with black-and-white illustrations. WISHING HORSE is also the only book in the original Oz series not to have its own endpaper illustrations, though later editions borrow a design from THE TIN WOODMAN OF OZ. The book is quite fresh, thanks in part to retaining its original dust jacket. 9'' x 6.5''. Original green cloth boards with color pictorial paste-on to front board. Original price-clipped color pictorial dust jacket. Color frontispiece with 11 color plates (12 total) and various black-and-white illustrations. 298 pages. Small owner stamp to front flyleaf, "M. F. W." with corresponding owner name Mary Frances Wright to the "This Book belongs to" page, dated June 14, 1935. Jacket with large chip to upper spine, affecting "The / Wishing" in title; spine with mild sunning, one tiny closed tear to rear panel. Binding with a touch of bumping to spine ends. Sharp. Near fine in very good dust jacket.
