内容简介

First published in 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is one of the most beloved children's books ever written. When Dorothy and Toto are suddenly swept off the plains of Kansas by a huge cyclone to the land of Oz, they meet up with some of the most endearing characters ever created - the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion. Together they set off on a fantastic journey down the yellow brick road in search of the wonderful Wizard of Oz.
After a cyclone transports her to the land of Oz, Dorothy must seek out the great wizard in order to return to Kansas.
 

《绿野仙踪》是美国作家弗兰克·鲍姆的代表作。1970年被列为20世纪世界十五大畅销书之一。它已经被翻译为多种语言。《绿野仙踪》又翻译为《绿野寻仙记》，它讲述的是小女孩多露茜的历险故事。多露茜聪明、善良、勇敢，她被龙卷风吹到了另一个地方，在那里，她结识了狮子、稻草人和铁皮人等小伙伴，他们都有自己的优点和缺点，在历险的过程中，多露茜帮助他们改掉了自己的缺点。故事情节跌宕起伏、曲折动人，使本书成为各国儿童喜欢的现代童话故事之一，足以与安徒生童话和格林童话媲美。

《绿野仙踪》发表后，在读者中引起了巨大反响，纷纷要求作者继续为他们写出更好的作品，于是鲍姆又陆续创作了十三部续集，其中《奥芝仙境》是续集中的佳作。本书收录了他的《绿野仙踪》和《奥芝仙境》两部作品。《奥芝仙境》讲述的是小男孩蒂普的历险记，他与稻草人、铁皮人、南瓜人、锯木马历经种种艰难险阻，在历险中他们运用聪明才智与坏女巫斗智斗勇，在格林达女王的帮助下，取得了胜利，蒂普也成为翡翠国的女王——原来是坏女巫将他变成男孩，实际上他是翡翠王国的公主——奥芝玛。

Chapter 1
 
Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife. Their house was small, for the lumber to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles. There were four walls, a floor and a roof, which made one room; and this room contained a rusty looking cooking stove, a cupboard for the dishes, a table, three or four chairs, and the beds. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had a big bed in one corner, and Dorothy a little bed in another corner. There was no garret at all, and no cellar-except a small hole, dug in the ground, called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose, mighty enough to crush any building in its path. It was reached by a trap-door in the middle of the floor, from which a ladder led down into the small, dark hole.
 
When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached the edge of the sky in all directions. The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass, with little cracks running through it. Even the grass was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere. Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away, and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else.
 
When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young, pretty wife. The sun and wind had changed her, too. They had taken the sparkle from her eyes and left them a sober gray; they had taken the red from her cheeksand lips, and they were gray also. She was thin and gaunt, and never smiled, now. When Dorothy, who was an orphan, first came to her, Aunt Em had been so startled by the child's laughter that she would scream and press her hand upon her heart whenever Dorothy's merry voice reached her ears; and she still looked at the little girl with wonder that she could find anything to laugh at.
 
Uncle Henry never laughed. He worked hard from morning till night and did not know what joy was. He was gray also, from his long beard to his rough boots, and he looked stern and solemn, and rarely spoke.
 
It was Toto that made Dorothy laugh, and saved her from growing as gray as her other surroundings. Toto was not gray; he was a little black dog, with long, silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose. Toto played all day long, and Dorothy played with him, and loved him dearly.
 
To-day, however, they were not playing. Uncle Henry sat upon the door-step and looked anxiously at the sky, which was even grayer than usual. Dorothy stood in the door with Toto in her arms, and looked at the sky too. Aunt Em was washing the dishes.
 
From the far north they heard a low wail of the wind, and Uncle Henry and Dorothy could see where the long grass bowed in waves before the coming storm. There now came a sharp whistling in the air from the south, and as they turned their eyes that way they saw ripples in the grass coming from that direction also.
 
Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up.
 
"There's a cyclone coming, Em," he called to his wife; "I'll go look after the stock." Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows and horses were kept.
 
Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door. One glance told her of the danger close at hand.
 
"Quick, Dorothy!" she screamed; "run for the cellar!"
 
Toto jumped out of Dorothy's arms and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get him. Aunt Em, badly frightened, threw open the trap-door in the floor and climbed down the ladder into the small, dark hole. Dorothy caught Toto at last, and started to follow her aunt. When she was half way across the room there came a great shriek from the wind, and the house shook so hard that she lost her footing and sat down suddenly upon the floor.
 
A strange thing then happened.
 
The house whirled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air. Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon.
 
The north and south winds met where the house stood, and made it the exact center of the cyclone. In the middle of a cyclone the air is generally still, but the great pressure of the wind on every side of the house raised it up higher and higher, until it was at the very top of the cyclone; and there it remained and was carried miles and miles away as easily as you could carry a feather.
 
It was very dark, and the wind howled horribly around her, but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily. After the first few whirls around, and one other time when the house tipped badly, she felt as if she we
