Oz’s Cowardly Lion steps into the foreground
The third volume of The Wicked Years turns to the Cowardly Lion, giving this familiar Oz figure a fuller place within Gregory Maguire’s darker reimagining of the fairy-tale world. Against a backdrop of war fever, political tension, oppression, and fear, the novel connects his story to Munchkins, Wizards, and the continuing legacy of the Wicked Witch of the West. The book frames the Lion as both gentle and resilient, using his perspective to revisit an Oz shaped by conflict and uncertainty.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Fans of adult fairy-tale retellings and alternate takes on Oz
- Readers interested in politically charged fantasy centered on oppression and war
- Readers following The Wicked Years series

Return to a darker Oz with Gregory Maguire's bestselling adult fairy tale retelling. In A Lion Among Men, the third volume in the 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. This political fantasy is a story of oppression and fear in a world gone mad with war fever--of Munchkins, Wizards, and the legacy of the Wicked Witch of the West--and especially of a gentle soul and determined survivor who is truly A Lion Among Men.
