Introduction
Folklore,
legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages, for
every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories
fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen
have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.
Yet
the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as
“historical” in the children’s library; for the time has come for a series of
newer “wonder tales” in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are
eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised
by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education
includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its
wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incidents.
Having
this thought in mind, the story of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” was written
solely to please children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy
tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares
are left out.

Chapter 2 The Council with the Munchkins(节选)
She was awakened by a shock, so sudden
and severe that if Dorothy had not been lying on the soft bed she might have
been hurt. As it was, the jar made her catch her breath and wonder what had
happened; and Toto put his cold little nose into her face and whined dismally.
Dorothy sat up and noticed that the house was not moving; nor was it dark, for
the bright sunshine came in at the window, flooding the little room. She sprang
from her bed and with Toto at her heels ran and opened the door.
The little girl gave a cry of amazement
and looked about her, her eyes growing bigger and bigger at the wonderful
sights she saw.
The cyclone had set the house down very
gently—for a cyclone—in the midst of a country of marvelous beauty. There were
lovely patches of greensward all about, with stately trees bearing rich and
luscious fruits. Banks of gorgeous flowers were on every hand, and birds with
rare and brilliant plumage sang and fluttered in the trees and bushes. A little
way off was a small brook, rushing and sparkling along between green banks, and
murmuring in a voice very grateful to a little girl who had lived so long on
the dry, gray prairies.
While she stood looking eagerly at the
strange and beautiful sights, she noticed coming toward her a group of the queerest
people she had ever seen. They were not as big as the grown folk she had always
been used to; but neither were they very small. In fact, they seemed about as
tall as Dorothy, who was a well-grown child for her age, although they were, so
far as looks go, many years older.
Three were men and one a woman, and all
were oddly dressed. They wore round hats that rose to a small point a foot
above their heads, with little bells around the brims that tinkled sweetly as
they moved. The hats of the men were blue; the little woman’s hat was white,
and she wore a white gown that hung in pleats from her shoulders. Over it were
sprinkled little stars that glistened in the sun like diamonds. The men were
dressed in blue, of the same shade as their hats, and wore well-polished boots
with a deep roll of blue at the tops. The men, Dorothy thought, were about as
old as Uncle Henry, for two of them had beards. But the little woman was doubtless
much older. Her face was covered with wrinkles, her hair was nearly white, and
she walked rather stiffly.

看商品简介以为挺厚的……结果就是薄薄一本……排版倒是还好,要是有插图就更好了,全书都是文字……看到啥场景都要靠自己脑补……
