Maguire’s previous work, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, is now a Tony Award winning Broadway musical. As our guest, you may preorder your signed copy of A Lion Among Men: Volume Three in the Wicked Years with your luncheon ticket purchase, before the book goes on sale to the general public. This very special event will also feature best-selling debut novelist Brunonia Barry, author of The Lace Reader, in her only West Coast appearance.
