An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/xoykDFxJFBgF02W_HRnEzw==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Much like the Wicked Witch of the South, Lurline is never directly depicted as a character in any of the Oz books. She is, however, a crucial figure in the backstory and origin of Oz... and, indeed, she was most likely seen earlier than that (see Notes). L. Frank Baum first mentions her in The Tin Woodman of Oz, Chapter 12, where he states that Lurline's fairy band was passing over the isolated Land of Oz when they enchanted the country; and Lurline left one of her fairies to "rule" it. Lurline then "forgot all about" Oz.
