After inspiring a Tony-award winning hit musical & selling over 2 million copies worldwide, enter the world of Wicked by Gregory Maguire & experience a wonderful world of imagination & allegory. Dorothy's triumph over the Wicked Witch of the West in the classic novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was only one side of the story. But what of her arch-nemesis, the mysterious witch?

Bruised & comatose & revived by a silent novice at the cloister of Saint Glinda. What dark force has left Liir in this condition? Is he really the Wicked Witch's son? He has her broom & her cape
- but what of her powers? In an Oz that is under new management, can Liir keep his head down long enough to grow up? Two magical books bringing together a vivid world for the whole family to enjoy in this masterful retelling from Gregory Maguire.
