![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Maguire’s highly imaginative and sophisticated work expands upon and reshapes Baum’s mythology of the world of Oz, challenging our notions of good and evil. Wicked follows its main character, Elphaba, from her birth in Munchkinland to her exploits at college (where her roommate turns out to be Glinda, the future Good Witch of the South), and on through a tragic love affair and a story of betrayal. But who is this woman, the Wicked Witch of the West? Was she born evil or did life force her to become that way? And was she genuinely “wicked” or merely “misrepresented by history.” It is based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, in turn based on L. Frank Baum’s classic story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), the ever-popular tale of Dorothy, the Wizard, and the evil, green-skinned witch who plagues the land of Oz. Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West is derived from L. Community Selection Book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, by Gregory Maguire SR!
