The global bestseller that inspired the hit musical phenomenon. Now a major movie and record-breaking box office sensation. In this classic tale of good and evil, what if we weren't told the whole story? Long before Dorothy follows the yellow brick road and triumphs over the Wicked Witch of the West, a little girl with emerald-green skin is born in the land of Oz. Elphaba grows up to be smart and prickly, a lonely outsider with an extraordinary talent for magic. Arriving at university, she dares to believe she might finally fit in. But Oz isn't the haven she'd dreamed of. Some of its citizens are in grave danger, and Elphaba is determined to protect them from the Wizard's power. And when the world declares her a wicked witch, Elphaba takes matters into her own hands... This is the original novel by Gregory Maguire, first published in 1995. It is a reimagined prequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and contains adult content. Fall under the WICKED spell this year 'One of my absolute favourite books! A completely different take on the classic' 'Kept me on the edge of my seat from the second I picked it up' 'I have a penchant for fairytale retellings that are a bit dark and misunderstood villains and this ticked all my boxes' 'This is a real Oz, it makes you believe in it' 'A real joy to sink into a very different world' 'You see the Wicked Witch and Dorothy in a whole new light' 'Funny, sad and unputdownable' 'Honestly, it's better than The Wizard of Oz!' 'Wonderfully written, witty and thought provoking' 'A favourite of mine for many many years'
