A LION AMONG MEN
GREGORY MAGUIRE
The global bestseller that inspired the hit musical phenomenon.
The third book in Gregory Maguire's Wicked Years series - inspiration for the major movie and record-breaking box office sensation.
As civil war looms in Oz, an ancient and tetchy oracle named Yackle prepares for death.
Before she can return to dust, however, the Cowardly Lion - an enigmatic figure named Brrr - arrives seeking knowledge about Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West. The woman who defended him when he was a cub.
But Yackle, too, demands answers of her own.
