For example, the characters repeatedly say that no one has ever tried to usurp the throne and yet Scarecrow is able to consult a book on despots. What really irked me about this novella is how some of the details seemed to contradict each other, but the contradictions were ignored for the sake of drama.

The Straw King tells the story of how Scarecrow stopped being the King of Oz. ![]()
