When Dorothy triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West in L. Frank Baum's classic tale, we heard only her
side of the story. But what about her arch-nemesis, the mysterious Witch? Where did she come from? How did
she become so wicked? And what is the true nature of evil?

Gregory Maguire creates a fantasy world so rich and vivid that we will never look at Oz the same way again.
Wicked is about a land where animals talk and strive to be treated like first-class citizens, Munchkinlanders
seek the comfort of middle-class stability, and the Tin Man becomes the victim of domestic violence. And then
there is the little green-skinned girl named Elphaba, who will grow up to become the infamous Wicked Witch of
the West, a smart, prickly, and misunderstood creature who challenges all our preconceived notions about the
nature of good and evil.
