While civil war looms in Oz, Brrr--the Cowardly Lion--surrenders
the story of his life to a tetchy oracle named Yackle. Abandoned as
a cub, Brrr's path from infancy in the Great Gillikan Forest is no
Yellow Brick Road. Seeking to redress an early mistake, he trudges
through a swamp of ghosts, becomes implicated in a massacre of
trolls, falls in love with a forbidding Cat princess, and avoids a
jail sentence by agreeing to serve as a lackey to the war-mongering
Emperor of Oz.
A portrait of a would-be survivor and a panoramic glimpse of a
world gone shrill with war fever, Gregory Maguire's A Lion Among
Men is written with the sympathy and power that have made his books
contemporary classics.
