The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapters Four to Six

In which a summary is again likely not necessary, and yet we recount that Dorothy learns the Scarecrow's story, the two encounter a rusted woodman made of tin, and the three are finally joined by a Lion of the not-so-brave variety, and in which our narrator tries hard not to do a Bert Lahr impression.



Not quite so many Denslow illustrations this time around: only seventeen. Once again, you can pretty much just follow along the whole time. Maybe one day I'll get ambitious and put in the correct time stamps.

 

I guess I don't have much to add myself this time around. But, hey, did you watch that Bert Lahr video up there? What the crap is going on there?


If you would like to read along, the text can be found at Project Gutenberg here without pictures, or here with. Though the illustrated page is where I got our illustrations from, the layout is wonky and can be hard to read, so to see what the text looks like with the illustrations properly integrated, take a look at this facsimile of the original edition up at openlibrary.org. No reading ahead, though!
