I'm currently listening to A Lion Among Men by Gregory Maguire, on CD. This is the same author that wrote Wicked and many other Oz related fiction that goes beyond what L. Frank Baum ever imagined. You get to know the main character, Brr, who is the Cowardly Lion in a much different form. He gets to know himself and be a part of the more human world in the land of Oz after his curiosity is poked thanks to a soldier he meets in the forest. The reader is able to see how courage comes to be in his life and the significance of the medal in his life. We also get to experience Dorothy and all her Oz friends in a whole new way as they make their way through the forest to make a special visit to the Wizard.
