After George M. Hill, publisher of the first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, went out of business in 1902, employees Sumner Britton and Frank Reilly decided to form their own publishing venture, incorporated as Reilly & Britton in 1904. The partners solicited Frank L. Baum and signed him to an exclusive contract, his first book slated to be a sequel to the groundbreaking Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Throughout the series Baum furthered the fantastic adventures of Dorothy and her companions in Oz and introduced several other protagonists along the way including Jack Pumpkinhead and Princess Ozma.
