The Wicked Series Box Set: The Groundbreaking Oz Saga of the Wicked Witch of the West – Complete Dark Fantasy Collection (Wicked Years)

The Wicked Series Box Set is a complete collection of Gregory Maguire's acclaimed dark fantasy series, 'The Wicked Years'. This set includes all four novels that reimagine the world of Oz from L. Frank Baum's classic stories. The series is known for its complex characters and exploration of themes such as good, evil, and societal conflict. The first book, 'Wicked', provides the origin story of Elphaba, the misunderstood green-skinned girl who becomes the infamous Wicked Witch of the West, and served as the inspiration for the Broadway musical and subsequent film adaptations. The saga continues with 'Son of a Witch', following Elphaba's son Liir; 'A Lion Among Men', which centers on the Cowardly Lion; and concludes with 'Out of Oz', bringing the story full circle with the arrival of Dorothy and the coming-of-age of Elphaba's granddaughter, Rain. This collection presents a politically charged and morally ambiguous vision of Oz, marked by civil unrest and war. The box set features a cohesive and attractive design, making it a comprehensive edition for fans of the series and the fantasy genre.
