New York: Harper Collins, 1995.
First edition of Gregory Maguire’s immensely popular reinvention of Oz. Octavo, original illustrated boards, cartographic endpapers. Signed by the author on the half-title page, who added a large drawing of The Wicked Witch of the West’s hat. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Laid into this book is a Playbill for the play Wicked from The Gershwin Theatre. Illustrated by Douglas Smith.
Following the traditions of Gabriel Garca Marquez, John Gardner and J.R.R. Tolkien, Wicked is a richly woven tale that takes us to the other, darker side of the rainbow as novelist Gregory Maguire chronicles the Wicked Witch of the West's odyssey through the complex world of Oz -- where people call you wicked if you tell the truth.
