The Munchkins\n(blue) are usually to the east of Oz, while the Winkies (yellow) are to the\nwest. I say \"usually\" because one of the earliest maps reversed them, and\nconfusion followed. But the Gillikens (purple) are always to the north and\nthe Quadlings (red) to the south."

Any help you wish to provide will be gratefully received.\n\nI didn't know about the reversed map (or had forgotten). Interesting! One\nthing I have concluded from my Oz readings is that Baum didn't care at all\nabout consistency and therefore confusion runs rampant through the Oz\nseries. There is another good case of inconsistency I will mention at the\nend of my series of postings (yes, there is more to come!), since it is\nrelated to the Oz character Tip about whom I will have much more to say as\nwell."
