A Wickedly Good Book

To my lovely actress friend, Amy--of course I have to recommend a book that was made into a Broadway musical. Wicked by Gregory Maguire. I thought this book was pretty creative. Very different from the original Wizard of Oz movie. I like when people take original stories and tell a new story from the perspective of the villain.

Gregory Maguire

I also recommend twisted fairytales by Gregory Maguire. Most people don't know it, but he also wrote a children's book called What the Dickens. That one is a tale based on the popular children's legend of the tooth fairy. I recommend all of his books, but of course, his most famous novel is Wicked.
