WICKED The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

Did you ever wonder how Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, got that way? Maguire tells all in this imaginative, satiric biography of the one character in THE WIZARD OF OZ destined to give children nightmares. John McDonough's narration is smooth and soothing, unfazed by the greenness of Elphaba's skin, the viciousness of her personality or the strangeness of the societies of Oz.
