Son of a Witch

The Wicked Years continue in Gregory Maguire's <i>Son of a Witch</i>--the heroic saga of the hapless yet determined young man who may or may not be the offspring of the fabled Wicked Witch of the West. A <i>New York Times </i>bestseller like its predecessor the remarkable <i>Wicked Son of a Witch </i>follows the boy Liir on his dark odyssey across an ingeniously re-imagined and nearly unrecognizable Land of Oz--a journey that will take him deep into the bowels of the Emerald City lately abandoned by the Wizard and into the jaws of dragons. At once a grim fairy tale and an uplifting adventure <i>Son of a Witch </i>is a true wonder.</p>
