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.

"Although this was basically two characters' backstories, I enjoyed it more than Son of a Witch."

"This third installment in the Wicked series was quite good. The story of the Cowardly Lion was fascinating. For me personally, there were times when it did just drag on a little bit, but overall, it was worth seeing Brrr through to the end. Yackle was easily a favorite character, and the gratification of witnessing her story come full circle was great."
