Wicked by Gregory Maguire — used trade paperback. ReganBooks / HarperCollins. ISBN 0-06-098710-3. Full title: Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

The novel behind the musical and the films. Maguire takes the green-skinned villain of Baum's Oz and asks the question nobody had bothered to ask: where did she come from, and what makes a person "wicked"? The answer is Elphaba — smart, prickly, misunderstood — and the book is part fantasy, part political cautionary tale, part psychological study.

John Updike in The New Yorker called it "amazing." Kirkus: "Save a place on the shelf between Alice and The Hobbit." Reader's Group Guide inside.

Condition: good, pre-owned. Reads cleanly, binding intact, cover shows normal shelf wear. Photographed front and back.
