About this listen
The captivating coming-of-age story of the most iconic witch ever to grace our screens and bookshelves.
Once upon a time in the land of Oz, a green little girl was born...
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...©2025 Gregory Maguire
Having it recorded by Cynthia is the cherry on the top of the cream on the delicious cake.
Now my wish is for Cynthia's creamy, dreamy voice to rerecord the first 4 original books.
Brava Brava Brava
