Tuesday, August 04, 2015. The Magic Scroll of Oz. At Oz Con this year, I met Ray Kelley, who was handing out cards promoting his e-book, The. Which was available through Amazon's Kindle service for only $.99. At that price, I decided it was worth a shot and downloaded it the next time I was near a Wi-Fi friendly spot and began reading it on my trip home. Dorothy is joined by the Cowardly Lion and Sawhorse as she travels north towards the Land of Ev to recover the scroll and discover who was behind the th...

http://newwwoz.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2015. Volkov-thon: Urfin Jus and his Wooden Soldiers. One difference between Baum and Volkov was that Baum would write his books and they'd be published as books. However, some of Volkov's books were published in serial form in papers or magazines first. And sometimes, even after book publication, they would be updated to be a little more in line with the later books. The first sequel to The Wizard of the Emerald City. Appeared in 1963. Urfin Jus and his Wooden Soldiers. This is one ...

http://newwwoz.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. Art by Sam Milazzo from "The Way of a Lion". One of the first monsters we meet in the Oz books are the Kalidahs. They appear even before the Winged Monkeys in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. As Dorothy and her new friends head to the Emerald City. The Cowardly Lion tells Dorothy when they are in the Kalidah forest and tells her what they look like:. And my little story "The Way of a Lion" tells you why he said that, but that's beside the point. There are a few Kalidah-centric stories ...

The Royal Blog of Oz: An Abbott In Oz
http://newwwoz.blogspot.com/2015/07/an-abbott-in-oz.html
Wednesday, July 08, 2015. An Abbott In Oz. In the 1990s, Books of Wonder supplemented their deluxe reprints of the Oz books (that's. probably the best term for them) with a host of brand new Oz stories, basically in an attempt to re-launch the Oz series. One of the big contributors to this new line of Oz books was Donald Abbott, who preferred to illustrate his stories in a manner copying W.W. Denslow. (Books of Wonder had Abbott illustrate their new edition of Dot and Tot of Merryland. I suppose it's a f...

The Royal Blog of Oz: The Land of Stories
http://newwwoz.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-land-of-stories.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. The Land of Stories. It's not often I talk about non-Oz books on this blog. When I do, they have some connection to Oz, usually their author or illustrator. In this case, I initially had no intention to write about this series on this blog. But, well, when the latest volume has the Emerald City, the Tin Woodman and the Yellow Brick Road on the front cover, you gotta reconsider, right? The series at hand is The Land of Stories. The second book, The Enchantress Returns. One of Napole...

The Royal Blog of Oz: Oz and the Vulnerable Male
http://newwwoz.blogspot.com/2015/07/oz-and-vulnerable-male.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Oz and the Vulnerable Male. Sometime back, I wrote a blog offering my take on why Oz appeals to gay men. It wasn't a very well thought-out blog, but sometimes ideas are best to say once and then build on later. But here's another thought, which doesn't really explain why gay men love Oz, but why men of all types sometimes embrace it. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The answer is that Baum eschewed the typical depiction of male heroes in The. In the case of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
