Someone in Oz

Posted on October 28, 2022 by Nathan

The New Ugu

Posted on May 18, 2022 by Nathan

I guess it’s time for Oziana 1984. The cover by Melody Grandy shows a typical inhabitant of the Pink and Blue Countries of Sky Island, which is relevant to the first story. The introduction explains that, since L. Frank Baum’s … 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 →

Posted on November 28, 2014 by Nathan

Nome Invasions

Posted on December 14, 2010 by Nathan

I’ve already discussed the constant invasion attempts of the former Nome King, but this time I’d like to take a closer look at the individual attempts. The first occurs in The Emerald City of Oz, in which King Roquat’s goal … Continue reading →
