Before Dorothy dropped a house on her, before she melted into a puddle of green goo, the Wicked Witch of the West was just Elphaba—a brilliant, misunderstood girl born with emerald skin and a fierce sense of justice. This Collector’s Edition of Gregory Maguire’s groundbreaking novel invites you to discover the untold story that changed how we see good and evil forever.
Maguire turns L. Frank Baum’s classic on its head, giving voice to the villain we thought we knew. Set in the richly imagined Land of Oz, this is a tale of political intrigue, forbidden love, and the dangerous cost of standing up for what’s right. Elphaba’s journey from university student to revolutionary will make you question everything you thought you knew about wickedness.
This special Collector’s Edition makes a stunning addition to any bookshelf, whether you’re a longtime fan of the novel or discovering it for the first time. It’s the perfect companion piece for those who’ve been enchanted by the Broadway phenomenon, or for readers who simply love stories that challenge convention and explore the gray areas between hero and villain.
Curl up with this modern classic on a foggy Ogunquit afternoon and let Maguire’s spellbinding prose transport you to a world where nothing is quite as it seems. You’ll never look at those ruby slippers the same way again.
An outstanding work of imagination.
A remarkable journey through a remarkably imagined world.
Maguire's work is melodic, symphonic and beautiful; it is dejected and biting and brave.
So good that I wished I'd written it.
A captivating fantasy filled with adventure and literary devices...Maguire's characters are so fully realized and well drawn that they seem to live and breathe.
A philosophical fable about good and evil, God and free will...Maguire has succeeded brilliantly.
