Barrie’s <em>Peter Pan</em>, Charles Dickens’s <em>A Christmas Carol, </em>and the Jack the Ripper stories,<em> </em>the bestselling author of The Wicked Years canon creates a captivating fairy tale for the modern world. With <em>Lost, </em>Maguire—who re-imagined a darker, more dangerous Oz, and inspired the creation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway blockbuster <em>Wicked</em>—delivers a haunting tale of shadows and phantoms and things going bump in the night, confirming his reputation as “one of contemporary fiction’s most assured myth-makers” (<em>Kirkus Reviews</em>).<span style="COLOR: red"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
