From Olympus to Oz

Posted on May 12, 2016 by Nathan

Just How Immortal Are You?

Posted on November 28, 2014 by Nathan

The Ozian King List

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Nathan

I’ve written before about Ozma’s father and grandfather, but what about earlier rulers of the land? Pretty much all we know about them is that they were all named either Oz or Ozma. There is a short story by Fred … Continue reading →

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Nathan

As a follow-up to last week’s post on Oz timeline issues, here’s another one, dealing with Lurline‘s enchantment. We know from The Tin Woodman of Oz that the Fairy Queen enchanted the country to make it a fairyland, and left … Continue reading →
