Description

Maguires work is melodic, symphonic, and beautiful; it is dejected and biting and brave. How great that people flock to these magical novels.

Out of Oz brilliantly reimagines L. Frank Baums world over the rainbow as wracked with social unrestplacing Glinda the good witch under house arrest and having the cowardly Lion on the lam from the law as the Emerald City prepares to make war on Munchkinland. Even Dorothy makes a triumphant return in Maguires magnificent Oz finaletying up every loose green end of the series he began with his classic Wicked, the basis for the smash hit Broadway musical.
