A Viking in Oz Author:Chris Dulabone Review by Theodore Cole — This book is surprisingly short. It is closer to the length of a Books of Wonder/Emerald City Press book than a Buckethead book, but much more carefully written. Dulabone has managed to include a great deal of research into Viking history, mythology, and folklore. He also displays knowledge of Baum's non-Oz stories. "A V... more »iking in Oz" owes as much to "Queen Zixi of Ix" and "The Sea Fairies" as it does to any Oz book. There is a great deal of careful research that is not typical of many Oz books. The characters are also more three-dimensional than usual. A very thoughtful piece of work...all in all, a better Oz book than average. 3 stars.« less
