The Baum Bugle, vol 69 no. 2

The latest issue of the Baum Bugle, journal of the International Wizard of Oz Club, features a piece by editor-in-chief Sarah K Crotzer, "So...! The Many Heads of Jean Marsh".

It's an illuminated, six-page piece covering Jean's life and career, and includes a few words from me about working with her on several Doctor Who audio stories, beginning with Home Truths

There are some amazing photographs of Jean at the premiere of Return to Oz, care of Tricia Trozzi, as well as a feature on the press response to that movie and a checklist of merchandise. Thanks to Sarah K Crotzer for sending me a copy.

Hello! I've only just seen this. Thanks for mentioning the piece - and thanks again for your lovely comments! As anxious as I was about the article, I was also pleased to write it - Jean was always a very welcome presence on my TV or CD player. :) And aren't Tricia's photos fun?

You are very welcome - and yes, it looks great. That issue also prompted me to try my daughter on Return to Oz. She's a great devotee of Wicked and Wizard of Oz, and was Dorothy in a performance thing last year. I'd forgotten how weird and unsettling Return is. And how much I like Tiktok.

That's great! Now you should buy her/yourself a genuine Baum Oz book. :)
