Book 41: /A Barnstormer in Oz/ by PJ Farmer.  It's good, it's real PJ Farmer,
and I wouldn't give it to kids.  It is quite well done, and the story 
certainly fits the Oz stories well, even "explaining" many things we only
wondered about.  But fairly intense sex (NOT explicit) disqualifies it, in
my humble opinion, from membership in the canon, becaust a kid book it ain't.

Cheers,
