Hamnet author Maggie O’Farrell is back with a new book in 2026, and here is the cover, designed and illustrated by Holly Ovenden. O’Farrell says her new novel, Land, is “based on the life of my great-great-grandfather who was employed by the British to work on the Ordnance Survey maps of Ireland in the mid-19th century… Above all it’s about a man trying to retain his sense of history, both personal and universal, in the face of colonization and political upheaval.” Land will be out on June 2, 2026.
Gregory Maguire has a new book set in the Wicked universe coming out next year. Galinda: A Charmed Childhood is a prequel to Maguire’s 1995 novel Wicked. It’s also billed as a “sister volume” to Maguire’s novel Elphie: A Wicked Childhood. While Elphie explores Elphaba’s childhood, Galinda will take a look at the “good” witch’s origins. The book is out from HarperCollins on September 29, 2026.
