One of the cool things about the Oz books is that the magic's not quite so pervasively active as in the Harry Potter series; it's just accepted as being, and manifests more in odd things than odd activities per se (the Tin Woodman, talking lions, Tik-Tok, etc.). So I get the feeling it could be relatively straightforward to do. Come to think of it, I've never actually read this book myself, I think. I've read others in the series, but never this one.<br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>ghItlhpu' naHQun, jatlh:<br>> I may or may not get to Chapter 2.<br><br>yIruch!<br><br>> Kansas Dab Dorothy.<br>> 'IrneHDaj juH Dab.<br>> wIjwI' ghaH 'IrneH Henry'e'.[1]<br><br>I agree with Voragh - probably best to put it after the name.<br><br>> wIjwI' be'nal ghaH me'nal Em'e'.<br><br>Heh.
