Almost 30 years after the publication of the original novel, Gregory Maguire reveals the story of prickly young Elphie, the future Wicked Witch of the West—setting the stage for the blockbuster international phenomenon that is Wicked : The Musical and the Wicked smash hit movie series. Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, will grow to have a feisty and somewhat uncompromising character in adult life. But she is always a one-off, from her infancy; Elphie is the riveting coming-of-age story of a very peculiar and relatable young girl. Young Elphie is shaped and molded by the behaviors of her promiscuous mother, Melena, and her pious father, Frex. She suffers ordinary childhood jealousies when her sister, saintly Nessarose, and brother, junior felon Shell, arrive. She first encounters the mistreatment of the Animal populations of Oz, which live adjacent to but not intertwined with human settlements, haunted by a Monkey and receiving aid from Dwarf Bears. She thrashes through her first bruising attempts at friendship, a possible lifeline from her tricky family life. And she gleans the benefits of an education, haphazard though it must be—until she arrives at the doors of Shiz University, about to meet the radiant creature that is Galinda. Elphie is destined to be a witch; she bears the markings from childhood—most evidently in her green skin but more obscurely and profoundly in her cunning and perhaps amoral behaviors, as she seeks to make do, to slip by, to sneak out, to endure, and to aspire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eEAN:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e9780063445826\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFarbverschnitt:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eGenerell werden die Bücher ohne Farbverschnitt geliefert, auch wenn die Abbildungen einen Farbverschnitt zeigen.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eErscheinungsjahr:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e25.03.2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eAutoren:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eMaguire, Gregory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eSeitenzahl\/Blattzahl:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e288\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eThemenüberschrift:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eFICTION \/ Literary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eKeyword:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eelphaba granddaughter; elphaba thropp; witches; adult fantasy; wicked saga; after alice; wicked extended universe; descendants of famous villains; wicked witch of the west origin story; wicked continued; oz finale; stenciled edge books; glinda; bad witch; wicked follow up; political intrigue fantasy; wizard of oz; munchkinland; 21st century; l. frank baum; magic; hiddensee; wicked witch of the west; oz prequel; cowardly lion; wicked the musical; dark fantasy; wicked years companion; wild winter swan; fairy tales; realistic fantasy; epic fantasy books; wicked origin story; witch fantasy; another day series; wicked on broadway; mirror mirror; oz retelling; sff; wicked prequel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachschema:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eAmerikanische Belletristik \/ Fantasy~Englische Bücher \/ Belletristik \/ Fantasy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachkategorie:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eZeitgenössische Fantasy~Belletristik: Traditionelle Geschichten, Märchen, Mythen, Fabeln und Legenden~Belletristik: allgemein und literarisch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eImprint-Titels:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eWilliam Morrow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eLänge:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e210 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eBreite:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e140 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Maguire, Gregory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54280663236934,"sku":"10382419","price":21.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/B00000009057601.jpg?v=1764029285","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/en\/products\/maguire-gregory-elphie-standard-edition","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
