XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS: The Official Guide to the Xenaverse
by Robert Weisbrot. B&W and color series stills. Condition: NEW 1998 Main Street (Doubleday) Trade Paperback, first printing. Content: As Xena Battles On in re-runs, it's nice to have a guide like this. Where guilty pleasures live, armed to the teeth and sporting battle armor, there strides Xena. As TV art, the syndicated Xena is more like Baywatch than Upstairs Downstairs, but it has a (very thin) patina of intellectual cachet from making frequent and occasionally incongruous references to classical mythology. Since the ratings titan has been on only since 1995, there is only so much an in-depth fan guide can cover, so Weisbrot also provides much detail on Xena's notable forerunner, Sheena, Oueen of the Jungle, a black-and-white syndicated series of 26 episodes that first ran in 1955. Aside from the welcome Sheena retrospective, the guide's highlights include episode breakdowns, worthy cast profiles, and pictures, pictures, pictures. Although not exactly challenging reading, this guide to a tasty enough slice of currently popular entertainment is engaging. One of the most influential TV series ever: my doctor named his baby daughter Xena in hopes she would be strong woman when she grew up. Odd, very odd. Great book. [1 copy available]
