Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

Slow and boring writing/plot. The first chapters describes the life of a pastor and his wife, as a new religion threatens to take over his flock. His religion is very strict, and the new one very liberal, encouraging the pursuit of pleasure.

Their daughter is the baby that will in the future be known as the Wicked Witch of the West. For some reason, her skin is green, and her teeth are very sharp.

The pastor looses the battle and is forced to flee, because his old congregation is told by the new priests that he must die.
