This Week's Oz Short Story Miscellany

There is one more short story in the 1998 edition of Oziana for me to share with you, but I'm rapidly running out of time this weekend. So instead I Will share all the little miscellaneous items from this issue:

  • The front cover is by an anonymous artist, and shows the Wicked Witch of the West looming over our heroes from the very first Oz book.
  • Mike Turniasky contributes "Three Smart Girls: An Ozzy Math Puzzle" in which the reader is asked to determine just how old Dorothy, Betsy, and Trot are.
  • Bryan Hollingsworth contributes a portrait of Ozma.
  • Editor Robin Olderman's contribution is "Mergers: A Game of Ozograms" in which a set of scrambled letters can be unscrambled to form the two word answer to a riddle and a single Oz-related word.
  • And the back cover is an ad for the 1999 issue.
