The Gillikin and The Exile are the first two books in the plan of a four-part 'The Yellow Brick Road Series' that offer a rugged, reimagined perspective on L. Frank Baum's whimsical American fairy tales, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and his subsequent series of Oz novels.​

If you like the grittier side of fairytale retellings, a touch of nostalgia, and a strong anti-hero trope, The Gillikin and The Exile are guaranteed to keep you up well past your bedtime.
