This is the book that started it all! The basis for the smash hit, Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Gregory Maguire's breathtaking bestseller, Wicked, views the land of Oz, its inhabitants, its Wizard, and the Emerald City through a darker (and greener) lens. Brilliantly inventive, Wicked offers us a radical new evaluation of one of the most feared and hated characters in all of literature, the  Wicked Witch of the West who, as Maguire tells us, maybe wasn't as wicked as we imagined.
