Son of a Witch

Gregory Maguire wrote several novels relating to the land of Oz after the publication of Wicked.  Maguire likes to elaborate on the original take of Dorothy and her companions and tell all about the extra characters, the ones that you seldom hear about. For instance, did you know that the Wicked Witch of the West had a son? It’s true (well, according to Gregory Maguire’s fan fiction), and Maguire wrote a book about the boy called Son of a Witch.

Son of a Witch takes off from the point when the Wicked Witch of the West is killed by Dorothy. Apparently there was a small child hiding in the shadows, one that was left motherless after the Witch melted away. Well, the boy was an orphan who was then adopted by a girl named Candle. In the story you find out all about the Wicked Witch’s son, what it power are, where he ends up, and how he relates to his mother. Check out the book and get even more information on the Wicked back story.
