Synopsis

“A brilliant, perceptive, and deeply moving fable.”
—Boston Sunday Globe  Publishers Weekly calls Gregory Maguire’s Lost “a deftly written, compulsively readable modern-day ghost story.” Brilliantly weaving together the literary threads of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, and the Jack the Ripper stories, the bestselling author of The Wicked Years canon creates a captivating fairy tale for the modern world. With Lost, Maguire—who re-imagined a darker, more dangerous Oz, and inspired the creation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway blockbuster Wicked—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” (Kirkus Reviews).

Goodreads review by Allison on December 12, 2007

"Lost" differs from its "Wicked" "Stepsister" cousins in that it does not (as closely) follow a traditional fairytale turned on its head. Echoing back to "Christmas Carol" and "Alice in Wonderland," it is not a straight rendition of either, but its own tale. Much of the book is spent wondering what r......more

Goodreads review by Lee on April 25, 2012

A lot of people seem to have read Wicked, tried Lost and been terribly disappointed. I found the book actually MORE satisfying than Wicked. I hope that you will give me a chance to sell you on Lost because I think that you will enjoy it if you give it an honest chance. I read the book in the space o......more

Goodreads review by Faith on November 07, 2007

This is another of those books that I find very difficult to describe. I didn't hate it, but I'm not so sure that I liked it, either. I found the protagonist to be very unlikeable. In fact, there was only one character in the book that I truly and unreservedly liked, and he only came in sort of near......more
