Emerald City Confidential review

L. Frank Baum’s magical land of Oz has been loved for generations.  Ever since the his original series of books entered the public domain, others have taken temporary possession of Oz and run with it in gleeful abandon.  Authors such as Ruth Plumly Thompson and John R. Neil wrote books in keeping with Baum’s original vision; others, most notably Gregory Maguire, imagined alternate versions of the world.  The video game we finished this weekend, Emerald City Confidential, is another wonderful addition to the alternate realities of Oz.
