Eines Tages findet der junge "Helles Köpfchen" auf dem Dachboden seines Elternhauses einen alten unscheinbaren Regenschirm.

Wie sich bald herausstellt, verfügt dieser über magische Kräfte - er kann fliegen und trägt seinen Besitzer wo immer dieser hin möchte. Auf einer seiner ersten Fahrten begegnet Helles Köpfchen der kleinen Trot und dem alten Käpt'n Bill und freundet sich mit ihnen an. Doch als die drei ein Picknick auf der in der Ferne zu sehenden "Himmelsinsel" machen wollen, geht etwas schief: Der Schirm fliegt immer höher und höher in den Himmel und lässt die angebliche "Himmelsinsel", die eigentlich einen anderen Namen trägt, weit unter sich.

Die wahre Himmelsinsel weit oben im Himmel ist jedoch alles andere als himmlisch: Kriegerische Völker, Feindschaft und Intrigen erwarten sie dort - und als ihnen obendrein der kostbare Regenschirm gestohlen wird, müssen die drei Freunde mit aller Macht darum kämpfen, wieder nach Hause zu gelangen ...

The Marvelous Land Of Oz

This beautiful HarperCollins Children's Classics edition of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is the perfect addition to any bookshelf.

 When a tornado hits Dorothy's home in the Kansas prairies, she and her dog, Toto, are whisked away to the magical Land of Oz.

 To return home, Dorothy must follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City and seek help from the great and powerful Wizard of Oz. So, accompanied by the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy sets out on a wild and magical adventure.

 This classic children's novel has been described as the first American fairy tale, and its huge global legacy includes numerous book, film, TV and theatrical adaptations.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

THE oceans are big and broad. I believe two-thirds of the earth's surface is covered with water. What people inhabit this water has always been a subject of curiosity to the inhabitants of the land. Strange creatures come from the seas at times, and perhaps in the ocean depths are many, more strange than mortal eye has ever gazed upon.

This story is fanciful. In it the sea people talk and act much as we do, and the mermaids especially are not unlike the fairies with whom we have learned to be familiar. Yet they are real sea people, for all that, and with the exception of Zog the Magician they are all supposed to exist in the ocean's depths.

I am told that some very learned people deny that mermaids or sea-serpents have ever inhabited the oceans, but it would be very difficult for them to prove such an assertion unless they had lived under the water as Trot and Cap'n Bill did in this story.

I hope my readers who have so long followed Dorothy's adventures in the Land of Oz will be interested in Trot's equally strange experiences. The ocean has always appealed to me as a veritable wonderland, and this story has been suggested to me many times by my young correspondents in their letters. Indeed, a good many children have implored me to "write something about the mermaids, " and I have willingly granted the request.

Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz 

"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 incident. 

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. "
