{"product_id":"a-lion-among-men","title":"A Lion Among Men","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this much-anticipated third volume of the Wicked Years, we return to Oz, seen now through the eyes of the Cowardly Lion - the once tiny cub defended by Elphaba in Wicked. While civil war looms, a tetchy oracle named Yackle prepares for death. Before her final hour, an enigmatic figure known as Brrr - the Cowardly Lion - arrives searching for information about Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West. As payment, Yackle demands some answers of her own. Brrr surrenders his story: abandoned as a cub, his earliest memories are gluey hazes, and his life's path is no Yellow Brick Road. A Lion Among Men chronicles a battle of wits hastened by the Emerald City's approaching armies. At once a portrait of a would-be survivor and a panoramic glimpse of a world gone shrill with war fever, Gregory Maguire's new novel is written with the sympathy and power that have made his books contemporary classics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Cat Fables","offers":[{"title":"Used - Like New","offer_id":47938349531285,"sku":"9780060548926UL","price":20.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2456\/3093\/files\/images-12.jpg?v=1788476957","url":"https:\/\/www.blackcatfables.com\/products\/a-lion-among-men","provider":"Black Cat Fables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
