Who is Gilda in The Wizard of Oz?

Answer 1

Answer #1 In the film she was the good witch of the north. In the book she was the good sorceress of the north. Answer #2 The name is Glinda. In the book The Wizard of Oz, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] makes her the Good Witch of the South, and leaves nameless the Witches of the East, North, and West. In his stage version of 1902-1903, he gives the Good Witch of the North the name Locasta. In the film version of 1939, Glinda is the Good Witch of the North, and presumably no one is the Good Witch of the South. And that also is how she's described by Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954].
