The Ascent of Men

Posted on January 7, 2020 by Nathan

The Greek Myths, by Robert Graves – The library system only had one copy of this, so it took me a few checkouts to finish it, but I finally did. It’s an interesting and pretty thorough retelling of Greek mythology, … Continue reading →

Rings and Things

Posted on October 30, 2019 by Nathan

A lot of jewelry appears in the Oz books, but I can only think of a few magic rings. I believe the first one mentioned in the expanded Oz universe, albeit not in an official Oz book, is the one … Continue reading →

I Like Birds

Posted on April 13, 2019 by Nathan

When I linked to my last Oz post on Facebook, people gave a few more examples of birds I hadn’t mentioned, including some people turned into birds and other birds from authors outside the Famous Forty. I believe the first … Continue reading →

The Fabulous Fashions of Oz

Posted on March 28, 2018 by Nathan

I’ve examined the typical styles of Ozian clothing before, but I think I can come up with a few more thoughts about them. To begin with, The Patchwork Girl of Oz has a more thorough description of the Munchkin costume … Continue reading →

Revising Rinkitink

Posted on July 11, 2017 by Nathan

Last year, there was a contest to write a new ending to Rinkitink in Oz, the goal being to come up with what L. Frank Baum might have written before revising the King Rinkitink manuscript as an Oz book. There’s … 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 →

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 →

Everybody Gets a Crown

Posted on May 26, 2016 by Nathan

If I Only Had a Brain Surgeon

Posted on April 19, 2016 by Nathan

Although I don’t think he’s licensed, the Wizard of Oz seems to have an urge to mess around with brains. This is mostly, but not entirely, with artificial constructs. One of the first things we see him doing is giving … Continue reading →
