I'm a huge fan of Eva Pasco's. I've read all her other work and loved it. "Mr Wizardo," though, I kept putting off. I'd read a couple of L. Frank Baum's Oz stories when I was a pre-teenager, and hadn't taken to them. Nor to the Judy Garland movie. So I approached this book with some trepidation ... and I was wrong, It's brilliant. Taking L. Frank's basic themes, Eva gives us a tale of hope, redemption and inspiration, told in that witty, bright, economical prose style which I envy so much. Much, much better than its source material, this is a stunningly good read! Highly recommended.
