A Very Good Oz Read, August 24, 2001
This review is from: The Enchanted Apples of Oz [graphic novel/ comic book] (Paperback)
Shanower continues in the tradition of Oz writers with a classic adventure story. A woman who guards an apple tree (which keeps the magic of Oz alive - if the apples are eaten, the magic dies) is having trouble protecting it from a man who wants to steal the apples. It is classic Oz, presented in comic book-style, meaning there is less than no subtext. There is only a problem when Shanower tries to work a moral into this magical if not original tale, something that Baum swore never to do. Yet, it is still good, and a nice addition to an Oz lovers book collection.
