signed bundle pre-orderhardbackAvailable 29th September
This bundle contains signed hardback copies of Gregory Maguire’s books Elphie and Galinda.
Elphie
Young Elphaba is destined to be a witch, she bears the markings from childhood.
But what happened before her powers took hold?Elphie is a girl like any other and no other. Nothing like her parents - one beautiful, the other pious - nor her saintly sister, Nessarose. Her skin is green, her mind is cunning.
One day she will command this strange and wonderful world. For now, her journey is just beginning. The road ahead is full of lessons and heartbreak, the first bruising attempts at friendship - and tantalising whispers of magic.
It will lead Elphie to the doors of Shiz University, and to the girl who will change her life forever...
Galinda
Who was Glinda before she became Elphaba Thropp's magnetic and popular roommate at Shiz University?Well, before then, she was Galinda. With a 'ga'.
The youngest of four children in a high-born family down on their luck, Galinda is both pampered and ignored. Her natural grace promises to elevate her in the district dance competitions - but these efforts distract her from seeing the growing resentments of local merchants who disapprove of her family and their business. But as her father deftly pivots around the snares and nets laid for him by his rivals, Galinda begins to dance toward a life that might lift her above her proud, if hardscrabble, childhood.
Galinda reveals the girl behind the bubbly, shallow cliché - offering fans of Wicked their first glimpse into the true life of a beloved and iconic character.
