| 內容簡介: |
This is the complete and unabridged story of "The Wizard of
Oz", in which Dorothy, together with her companions the Tin
Woodman, the Scarecrow and the cowardly Lion, makes her journey
along the Yellow Brick Road in search of the wonderful wizard.
Bringing together traditional handicraft with cutting-edge book
design, the "Penguin Threads" series has already created a huge
buzz among the art and book-collecting communities. This latest set
features cover art by painter and illustrator Rachell Sumpter, who
brings a unique, whimsical sensibility to the Threads. With vivid
colours and ambitiously intricate details, these additions to our
innovative series commissioned by award-winning creative director
Paul Buckley are rich works of art to be cherished and
shared.

| 關於作者: |
L. Frank Baum lived from 1856 to 1919. He was born in
Chittenango, New York State and grew up to be a bit of an
entrepreneur. He worked in the theatre, in newspapers and
magazines, he manufactured a patent axle grease called ''Baum''s
Castorine'' and managed a general store called ''Baum''s Bazaar. For a
while he was a poultry farmer and his first book was about raising
chickens! His ideas didn''t earn him much money and he had to think
again. He had always loved telling his children bedtime stories, so
he turned to writing for children. Even in his early books,
retellings of traditional stories, he introduced a little girl
called Dorothy! His children loved his stories about a land called
Oz and in 1900 The Wizard of Oz was published. It was an overnight
success and soon became a stage musical extravaganza for which Baum
wrote the lyrics. The wonderful 1939 film, starring Judy Garland,
gave the story an even higher profile and has become almost as
famous as the book. Baum became so identified with Oz that his
other books had to be published under pseudonyms.
