A LION AMONG MEN The Wicked Years, Vol.III

In the long-awaited third volume in the Wicked Years series, a grown-up fairy tale based on THE WIZARD OF OZ, we travel back to Oz and follow the exploits of Brrr (the Cowardly Lion), who is caught in the conflict between the invading emperor of Oz and the beleaguered Munchkinlanders. It’s a most entertaining journey down the Yellow Brick Road with John McDonough's stentorian voice leading the way. He is a compelling guide to the intrigues of Ozian warfare, as well as to the souls and psyches of the lion, Brrr, and the oracle, Yackle. But even McDonough's tremendous power can't overcome the too long, exhausting path to the end—a door into the next book. M.T.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2008]
