Description: "I used to be a real man, and my heart was kind and loving. But since I have become tin, I have learned to think only of myself." "Baum was a true educator, and those who read his Oz books are often made what they were not: imaginative, tolerant, alert to wonders, life." --Gore Vidal.

Frank Baum's classic, The Tin Woodman of Oz, the twelfth book of Baum's Oz series, one of the few actually written by Baum prior to his death.
