Description: A Lion Among Men by Gregory Maguire Series Wicked Years Volume three 2008 Hard Cover 308 pages Return to a darker Oz with Gregory Maguire. In A Lion Among Men, the third volume in Maguire's acclaimed, New York Times bestselling series The Wicked Years, a fuller, more complex Cowardly Lion is brought to life and gets to tell his remarkable tale. It is a story of oppression and fear in a world gone mad with war fever--of Munchkins, Wizards, and Wicked Witches--and especially of a gentle soul and determined survivor who is truly A Lion Among Men.Product IdentifiersPublisherHarperCollinsISBN-100060548924ISBN-139780060548926eBay Product ID (ePID)65969123Product Key FeaturesBook TitleLion Among Men : Volume Three in the Wicked YearsAuthorGregory MaguireFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicFantasy / Contemporary, Fantasy / General, Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends & Mythology, Fantasy / EpicPublication Year2008GenreFictionNumber of Pages336 PagesDimensionsItem Length9.2in.Item Height1.1in.Item Width6.1in.Item Weight20.8 OzAdditional Product FeaturesSeries Volume Number3Lc Classification NumberPs3563.A3535l56 2008Reviews"Entertaining....The author mixes some relatively weighty existential themes the search for self, faith, redemption into his whimsical story line. [A] darkly enchanting saga" (Publishers Weekly), Engrossing...Maguire is a masterful storyteller with an uncanny flair for mixing political and personal while exploring what it means-and what it costs-to be accepted in a society., Much to savor, laugh at, and think about. . . . A page-turning fantasy and a timely political allegory., The minute you open A Lion Among Men, you're back in Maguire's exquisitely detailed environment, caught up once again in his geography, his characters, his worldview, touched anew by the loneliness that lurks in the heart of all things., Maguire's work is melodic, symphonic and beautiful; it is dejected and biting and brave. . . . In fabulous details and self-mocking language, Maguire displays his gift for whimsical portrayals of the broken, the powerless, the hopeless, the bad., This Oz goes far beyond L. Frank Baum's; it's as surreal as a dream, but as immaculately and impeccably detailed as history. Maguire's wizard like grasp over every aspect of this reinvented land rivals classic literary landscapes like Tolkien's Middle Earth and Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County., The third book in Maguire's Wicked Years is at once funny, charming, harrowing, bleak and incredibly beautiful., As usual, Maguire, a seasoned fabulist, populates his version of Oz with a cast of utterly fantastical characters who must face their own inner demons while tumult and uncertainty rages around them. An absolute must-read for fans of this ever-evolving dark fairy tale., Engrossing...Maguire is a masterful storyteller with an uncanny flair for mixing political and personal while exploring what it means—and what it costs—to be accepted in a society., Entertaining....The author mixes some relatively weighty existential themes—the search for self, faith, redemption—into his whimsical story line.
