Queen Lurline is a fictional character in the Oz books by L. Frank Baum[1] and other authors.
Some debate exists among fans of the Oz books as to whether the unnamed Fairy Queen and Lurline are the same person.
Lurline also appears in Wicked, Gregory Maguire's 1995 revisionist novel set in Oz; she is sometimes called "Lurlina".
Although faith in the fairy queen Lurline is described as out of fashion, Oz celebrates a winter holiday dedicated to her, known as Lurlinemas.
Lurline's followers are sometimes persecuted by believers in one of Oz's other major religion, Unionism, which worships "The Unnamed God."
