Gregory had written a dozen novels for children before launching his first adult novel, Wicked. A devotee of children's fantasy, Maguire's subsequent novels for adults are variations-on-a-theme: Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister considers Cinderella as a seventeenth-century maid from Haarlem; Lost evokes the ghost of Charles Dickens' Scrooge; and Mirror Mirror concerns a High Renaissance Snow White trapped in a household governed by the scheming Borgias. Gregory Maguire's novel Wicked is now followed by subsequent volume in The Wicked Years sequence: New York Times bestsellers Son of a Witch and A Lion Among Men, and the final volume, Out of Oz.
