So who was the Wicked Witch of the East? She’s a shoe maven. A monkey overlord. A cautionary tale about standing under falling houses.
She’s nobody and everybody. And that’s exactly why she’s fun to talk about. Next time you see a pair of ruby slippers, give a little wink. You know the woman who wore them—even if you don’t know her name.
And remember: if your house ever starts to shake, run. Don’t try to use magic. Just run.
