Lovable and Not-So-Lovable Rogues

Posted on August 16, 2017 by Nathan

Snow Business

Posted on August 2, 2017 by Nathan

I was aware from pretty early on that Ruth Plumly Thompson continued the Oz series after L. Frank Baum, and that illustrator John R. Neill would eventually write his own as well. I don’t think I’d heard of the fourth … Continue reading →

Finding the Lost Princess Again

Posted on June 28, 2017 by Nathan

The theme of the upcoming OzCon International is The Lost Princess of Oz, so I thought it might be a good idea to reread it. It’s actually been a while since I’ve done a reread of one of the original … Continue reading →

I Wanted Eternal Youth, But Not THAT Much Youth!

Posted on March 18, 2017 by Nathan

I remembered having read this Oz story before, but I forgot where I’d seen it. It’s an interesting take on the issue of aging in Oz, which I’ve tackled in the past without any definite conclusions. L. Frank Baum says … Continue reading →

Mangaboos and More

Posted on September 21, 2016 by Nathan

Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz isn’t one of my favorite Oz books, perhaps because the Emerald City seems less welcoming than usual. And after a journey as dark as the one in the rest of the book, where the … Continue reading →

Etymology in Oz

Posted on September 7, 2016 by Nathan

I bought a few old Baum Bugle issues at OzCon in Portland, and they have some interesting content. There was apparently a sometime recurring feature called “Footnotes to Oz” that explained names in the Oz series, written by Jerry Tobias. … Continue reading →

Princess of Power

Posted on August 23, 2016 by Nathan

In case you didn’t know, Ozma’s birthday was on Sunday, so I should probably write an Ozma-centered entry. I know I’ve discussed the ruler’s magical powers in the past, but I can’t find a post where I did so. Since … Continue reading →
