Top : The Land of Oz : The HACC : HACC Rules Page 1

The creation and maintenance of the HACC is a task that I am proud of doing. It is at times difficult, given that most authors write their books without knowledge of others and even when they are aware, very rarely is an effort made to bring their books into textual agreement. Also, many people feel that trying to pull the many Oz books into a smooth and continuous whole is unnecessary or may damage the unique sense of wonder that is Oz.

Nevertheless, Chris Dulabone and I (and others) feel that it is still possible and desireable to see if, out the tangled web of Oz books, we can derive an overall common historical thread that is represented by most of the Oz books. We truly believe that discovering a standard historical base for the Land of Oz will ultimately make the Oz experience even more enjoyable than it is now.
