First edition of Gregory Maguire’s immensely popular reinvention of Oz. Octavo, original illustrated boards, cartographic endpapers. Lengthily signed by the author on the half-title page, “‘And there the wicked old witch stayed for a good long time.’ ‘And did she ever come out?’ ‘Not yet.’ Gregory Maguire.” Fine in a fine dust jacket. Illustrations by Douglas Smith. Jacket design by Joel Avirom. An exceptional example.
Following the traditions of Gabriel Garcia 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.
