More DescriptionThis is not meant as a contribution to the famous Oz series. It is exclusive to WogglebugLove Productions. This is essentially the same story by Cynthia Hanson that had been first published as being titled "Professor Wogglebug and the Frogman of Oz" published by Tails of the Cowardly Lion and Friends. And Cynthia Hanson desires to have all people who have a copy of the previous edition to get rid of it and purchase this one. It is the one and only true edition. As the previous edition contains alterations to Cynthia's original text due to Chris's ignorance in understanding her intentions. After Chris unexpectedly betrayed her trust in him, she decided to never allow him to publish for her again, also also demanded for him to discontinue his edition of her book.Cynthia retains all rights to her own work as she now publishes solely on her own. She cares not what Oz fans expect. Namely, she refers to the Wogglebug character always as "Mr. Wogglebug" and never as "Professor Wogglebug." This is to help to make it clear to all readers she is in no way portraying the Wogglebug character so many devoted fans of Oz books know and despise, but the one who was from the earliest years of Oz, and the one she adores and wishes to help others to understand why.This story was originally written with no intention to ever be published and was only published so as to make sure an evil enemy Cynthia had would not get away with an attempt to deliberately steal her intellectual properties contained within. Plot: When the Frogman discovers he is in need of finding a cure for the curse put on him from long ago by the Truth Pond, his best friend and confidante, the brilliant and tender hearted Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E. resolves to find such. The clues to it point to a fourteen-year-old girl in Ohio named Terry who has her own troubles. When she is transported to Oz, she reveals to them the legend of the Fountain of the Pure Waters of Healing which can cure any ailments of any living creature. Then the three of them set out together on a quest to reach this in hopes of it curing the Frogman's curse. Along their way they journey through uncharted islands, mountains, and enter the land of darkness where they must face their fears before they can reach the valley of light. The first in a trilogy with themes of how dark and light go together with learning of truth.Mike Leuszler provides a total of 30 black-and-white full-page illustrations. In addition to the original 18, he also includes another 12 for the true edition. His art is gorgeous, talented, and very much compliments the style of the story and visions of the characters. The Wogglebug has rarely before been drawn as so adorable.
