Trade Review"In The Art of Oz, illustrator Gabriel Gale offers his own take on the characters and creatures of the magical place. His fantastical renderings, often paired with Denslow’s and Neill’s inspiring originals, are split into chapters such as 'The Witches & Their Armies,' 'The Beasts,' and 'The Curiosities.' By the time you reach 'The Emerald City,' you’ll know you’re not in Kansas anymore." —AIR MAIL
