Jellia Jamb for the win!

I am rereading The Marvelous Land of Oz and am greatly amused. Baum is dryer and cheekier (and more allusive) than I remember. There were a couple of exchanges between the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman in The Wizard of Oz that were really quite brilliantly understated in subtle humour. I should try to find them again. Also love this exchange between Scarecrow and Jack Pumpkinhead upon their first meeting.

( tl;dr excerpt from The Marvelous Land of Oz: Where on earth did you come from, and how do you happen to be alive? )
