Book of Fables Entry
''Bufkin is the talking, winged monkey from the land of Oz. Now, as Fabletown's librarian he spends his time reading and stealing the deputy mayor's booze. He's prone to mischief, so when something goes wrong he assumes he'll receive the lion's share of the blame. He's helpful when he wants to be, but most of the time he'd rather be drinking. Someone would have fired him a long time ago, but he's the only one who can make sense of the filing system.''

Background
Bufkin is a native of Oz, who flees in the Exodus and relocates to Fabletown, where he becomes the librarian.
