The Gnome King reviewed A lion among men by Gregory Maguire (Wicked years -- v. 3)
Review of 'A lion among men' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I really like original wizard of Oz story, it is one of my favourites and I think that it is fantastic that somebody is keeping the story alive.
A Lion among men is biography of the cowardly lion. The experience of reading this is very similar to a real biography that has some shocking truths in it. I wasn't expecting the lion to say the sort of things he does about the characters from the original story...my opinion of Dorothy has completely changed now. haha
If you are a fan of the wizard of Oz and wicked then give this story a go.
