Wicked/Son of a Witch

Wicked/Son of a Witch Hardcover (Bonded Leather) - October 03, 2008 by Gregory Maguire (Author).

The saga continues in Son of a Witch, the whimsical coming-of-age story of Liir, the Wicked Witch's secret son. Beautifully designed, this volume makes the perfect gift for lovers of modern fantasy literature.
