According to the original 1900 book edition, and the beloved 1939 film version, of 'The Wizard of Oz', a Winkie was an inhabitant of the Yellow Winkieland Country of the West. The residents were enslaved by the Wicked Witch of the West until her death. At that time, they were freed. They chose to protect their freedoms under the subsequent, benevolent rule of the Tin Woodman.
The land and the peoples continued to exist in 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West'. The book was authored and published, in 1995, by Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954]. It then was turned into a popular musical under the influence of Stephen Lawrence Schwartz [b. March 6, 1948].
There have been some differences between the book and musical versions of 'Wicked', and other differences between 'Wicked' and 'The Wizard of Oz'. But the basic cultural geography of the lands and peoples of the beautiful, enchanted, magical Oz has persisted throughout the many written and performed versions of, and spin-offs from, 'The Wizard of Oz'.
