The beloved multimillioncopybestselling novel and basis of the smash hit movie starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, in a deluxe hardback edition with green stained edges, a ribbon marker, and an elegant foilstamped cover.With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguires Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baums 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film starring Margaret Hamilton (and Judy Garland). In this fastpaced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination.Years before Dorothy and her dog crashland, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emeraldgreen skinno easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Ozs most promising young citizens.But Elphabas Oz is no utopia. The Wizards secret police are everywhere. Animalsthose creatures with voices, souls, and mindsare threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animalseven if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas.Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same nameone of the longestrunning plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novels distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenthcentury sagas of moral urgency, Maguires Wicked is as unique as its greenskinned witch.
