We Are Family

Posted on August 14, 2019 by Nathan

This post on the Merry Old Land of Oz Facebook group got me thinking about how most of the kids who visit Oz tend to be only children. Okay, to be fair, it’s possible they have siblings we don’t know … 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 →

What’s the Punishment for Puns?

Posted on May 24, 2017 by Nathan

It’s well-known that L. Frank Baum was a notorious punster, and some of the authors who continued the Oz series were even worse in that respect. Puns are delivered in several different ways in the books, some being delivered intentionally … Continue reading →

Bah! There’s Always a War!

Posted on February 18, 2016 by Nathan

In addition to Glinda’s army, there are a lot of armed forces that show up in minor Ozian countries. Many are simply palace guards, but there are some more specific military units as well. Utensia has the Spoon Brigade, made … Continue reading →

The Royal Ships of Oz

Posted on September 30, 2015 by Nathan

While I don’t think shipping has ever been quite as common for Oz as for many other fandoms, it’s definitely been gaining prominence as of late. Not surprisingly, one of the main targets is the beautiful and powerful Ozma, who … Continue reading →

Working on the Clockwork Plan

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Nathan

If you’ve read Tik-Tok of Oz, you may have noticed that a good portion of the plot seems recycled. Basically, the main reason for this is that the book is largely the novelization of a stage play, which in turn … Continue reading →
