Description

First edition and only printing of this "summer comedy," self-published by Baum, set near Lake Michigan where Baum wrote many of his books.

  • John Estes Cooke [pseudonym of L. Frank Baum] (American).
  • [Macatawa, Michigan]: Tamawaca Press, (1907).
  • Octavo.
  • 185, [1] pages.
  • Original blue-green pictorial cloth stamped in blue and white, all edges uncut.


The title is an anagram for Macatawa, the resort on Lake Michigan where Baum wrote many of his books and serves as the setting for this satire.


Baum himself makes a brief appearance as Mr. Wright. The book may have been published by Baum himself, and it was only at Macatawa.
