		It talks about the Wicked Witch's upbringing in Munchkinland through her adolescence in college (where she was a roommate with the Good Witch of the North) up until her rise as the evil witch and death by Dorothy.
		A good read; it reflects the pattern of a Greek tragedy, in that the witch deals with many shortcomings and has tragic flaws which lead to her end.
		Wicked annoyed me. Maybe it was the overuse of adult themes in a childhood world or just that I hate greenskins...either way, I couldn't finish it.

	Gregory Maguire :: Wicked The life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West - Harper Collins Publishers
		When Dorothy triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West in L. Frank Baum's classic tale, we heard only her side of the story.
		Wicked is about a land where animals talk and strive to be treated like first-class citizens, Munchkinlanders seek the comfort of middle-class stability, and the Tin Man becomes a victim of domestic violence.
		And then there is the little green-skinned girl named Elphaba, who will grow up to become the infamous Wicked Witch of the West, a smart, prickly, and misunderstood creature who challenges all our preconceived notions about the nature of good and evil.

		The Wicked Witch comes on a standard female Mego body (jointed knees and elbows) cast in green with "ape hands." Her outfit is comprised of a plain fl dress, a pair of fl shoes and a pointed witch's hat cast in fl rubber.
		Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: The Wicked Witch's body is, from the neck down, the same as Zira's body from the Planet of the Apes line, only cast in green plastic instead of flesh (even down to the furry "ape hands," which probably pass for wrinkles in this instance).
		Also, the Wicked Witch's fl shoes are identical to the ones available on the female characters of the "Waltons" line of Mego figures.

		In Maguire's Oz, Elphaba, better known as the Wicked Witch of the West, is not wicked; nor is she a formally schooled witch.
		I picked up Wicked, knowing nothing except that its subject matter was the Wicked Witch of the West, to be drawn immediately into Maguire's splendidly imagined world of sentient animals, multiple societies, and unique physical laws.
		Read Wicked and you will learn how the witch's monkeys became winged, where the rubies for those slippers came from, and, indeed, why the witch's skin was green.

		First, Dorothy kills her sister, the Wicked Witch of the East, by landing on her, then has the temerity to steal her ruby slippers.
		The Wicked Witch of the West wants revenge, but unfortunately, Dorothy kills her rather easily by chucking a bucket of water over her.
		Verdict: We reckon the poor witch is a much maligned character, and so does author Gregory Maguire, who penned her side of the story in the best-seller Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

		I loved the idea that the Wicked Witch of the West was really a counter-revolutionary freedom fighter and the way Maguire weaved the story into the original film was clever.
		Wicked is the sugary sweet tale of the Wizard of Oz told from the perspective of the Wicked Witch of the West.
		And so we have the witch’s birth, the explanation of her struggles through university, and the complex socio-political order of Oz.

		"The Talking Wicked Witch of the West" continues from the stories, "The Wicked Witch of the West"and "The Return of the Wicked Witch of the West".
		Lots of fast-paced twists, action, and an unexpected friend for the Talking Witch keeps the imagination of the author and her readers flowing with excitement for the next novel that continues with the multi-stories.
		The two horses are shared by the author and her friends, and all the antics on and of the horses plus the "how-to" take care of them are factual; however, in the stories the two riders are two boys.

		I guess since witches are often associated with magic and "special powers", it was only appropriate that they got the most exciting scenes in the film.
		This is even more justified as Miss Gulch is transformed into "The Wicked Witch of the East" riding on her broomstick while Dorothy is inside the cyclone.
		The water and oil mixture was opaque, so it hid me. The miniature Witch who did the skywriting was three eighths of an inch high, and the broom she was riding was a hypodermic needle.

		Born with green skin and huge teeth, like a dragon, the free-spirited Elphaba grows up to be an anti-totalitarian agitator, an animal-rights activist, a nun, then a nurse who tends the dying?and, ultimately, the headstrong Wicked Witch of the West in the land of Oz.
		Much of the narrative concerns Elphaba's troubled youth (she is raised by a giddy alcoholic mother and a hermitlike minister father who transmits to her his habits of loathing and self-hatred) and with her student years.
		Dorothy appears only near novel's end, as her house crash-lands on Elphaba's sister, the Wicked Witch of the East, in an accident that sets Elphaba on the trail of the girl from Kansas?as well as the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman and the Lion?and her fabulous new shoes.
