I ran into it in the little post library in Oberammergau; I was 9 or 10. I had read through all of Baum's Oz books (they had beautiful deluxe first editions, with tooled leather covers, green-gold ink and the most marvellous art-nouveau illustrations), and I asked the librarian if they had "anything else like that". She took me To The Hobbit and I was off.
(This was an edition with no LR blurb in it, so it was a while before I learned it had a sequel!)
