bullet::::- as events unfold in "the marvelous land of oz", we find that when the wizard of oz first came to oz, he had mombi the witch hide ozma, the true heir to the land of oz, so that he could rule. in "dorothy and the wizard in oz" however, not only does the wizard not know who ozma is, but he has to be told the entire story as if he wasn't involved and is never questioned about his actions. this change is believed by some to be based on complaints from children as to how they didn't like the mention of the wizard assisting mombi, so baum left this out of later books. regardless, a detailed fix for this seeming discrepancy was provided by hugh pendexter iii in the novella "oz and the three witches" published by pen press (1977) and reprinted in "oz-story magazine #6" by hungry tiger press.
