The Second Most Dangerous Game

Posted on March 29, 2017 by Nathan

I would have to suspect that, in a land in which practically all animals can talk, humans killing and eating them would pretty much disappear. Perhaps strangely, however, there are a few mentions of human hunters in Oz. They’re most … Continue reading →

Putting the Munchkins on the Map

Posted on January 5, 2016 by Nathan

I found the recent post on Munchkin geography at Hungry Tiger Press, which made me take another look at a rather confusing issue raised by The Patchwork Girl of Oz. Basically, the book mentions that Dr. Pipt‘s mountain borders on … Continue reading →
