  Oz and Ends — Authority: 129
  So many passages in L. Frank Baum ’s Oz books involve the magical availability of food—perhaps a reflection that that was a much bigger concern for American children a century ago.

  Oz and Ends — Authority: 129
  I enjoyed the great march of Bill Willingham and (mostly) Mark Buckingham ’s Fables comic to issue #75. In fact, I’ve been planning a “Willingham week” for a while; that prospect was both strengthened and postponed when I received a review copy of his new novel, Peter and Max . Nonetheless, I ...

  From A. S. Byatt’s review of Maria Tatar ’s The Enchanted Hunters: The Power of Stories in Childhood for the Guardian : Perhaps Tatar’s most original contribution to thought about children’s stories and what they do to their inhabitants is about how the addicted readers are also learning (most of ...

  Oz and Ends — Authority: 129
  In an essay on the Awgwas and Phanfasms , who are about the nastiest, scariest creatures L. Frank Baum ever wrote about, Nathan DeHoff concluded: One thing we really don’t see in Baum’s fantasy universe is an ultimate evil along the lines of Sauron or Voldemort. About the closest we get is Zog, and he’s ...
