Il y a eu un cyclone inouï, la petite Dorothée et son chien Toto ont été emportés dans un grand tourbillon, et les voici qui atterrissent... au féerique pays d'Oz ! Dorothée n'a cependant qu'un désir - et Toto aussi : rentrer chez eux, dans leur cher Kansas. Or, ce voeu, seul le Grand Magicien peut l'exaucer, et il demeure loin, très loin, dans la Cité d'Emeraude. Alors ils partent, courageux et confiants, et bientôt ils ont trois compagnons de route et d'espoir : un épouvantail qui aspire à devenir intelligent, un bûcheron-en-fer-blanc qui veut un coeur capable d'aimer, un lion timide qui rêve d'être un héros... Le magicien d'Oz dira-t-il oui à ces requêtes ? D'ici là, que de ravins et de prés maléfiques à traverser avant d'atteindre la Cité d'Emeraude ! Que de sorcières à combattre ! --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.

The Big Book of Christmas. Classic Stories and Poems. (100 Books)

Return to the magical land of Oz in L. Frank Baum's classic The Marvelous Land of Oz. When Tip tries to scare his guardian, Mombi the witch, with Jack Pumpkinhead (a man Tip made out of wood and a pumpkin head) he unknowingly sets in motion the most amazing adventure of his young life. Along with his creation, Jack Pumpkinhead, the Saw-Horse, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, Tip travels to the Emerald City, defeats General Jinjur's rebellion and finds the missing Princess Ozma. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its thirteen sequels have enchanted audiences since their publication in the early twentieth century. The Marvelous Land of Oz is the second novel in the Oz series and has been adapted into an episode of The Shirley Temple Show, an animated film, and a comic book series by Marvel Comics. HarperPerennialClassics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

The Marvelous Land 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.

The Sea Fairies

When Dorothy and her little dog Toto are caught in a tornado, they and their Kansas farmhouse are suddenly transported to Oz, where Munchkins live, monkeys fly and Wicked Witches rule. Desperate to return home, and with the Wicked Witch of the West on their trail, Dorothy and Toto - together with new friends the Tin Woodsman, Scarecrow and cowardly Lion - embark on a fantastic quest along the Yellow Brick Road in search of the Emerald City. There they hope to meet the legendary, all-powerful Wizard of Oz, who alone may hold the power to grant their every wish.Just as captivating as it was a hundred years ago, this is a story that all ages will love.

Le Magicien D'oz

Dorothée est une jeune orpheline qui habite le Kansas. Emportée par un cyclone en compagnie de son chien Toto, elle atterrit avec sa maison dans un étrange pays, écrasant au passage la méchante sorcière de l’Est. Désireuse de rentrer chez elle, Dorothée prend conseil auprès de la (gentille) sorcière du Nord, qui lui recommande d’aller trouver le puissant magicien d’Oz dans la Cité d’Émeraude. C’est chaussée de souliers d’argent magiques qu’elle va suivre la route de briques jaunes pour gagner la fameuse cité. En chemin, elle va croiser un épouvantail qui rêve d’avoir une cervelle, un bûcheron de fer-blanc qui, lui, voudrait un cœur et, enfin, un lion poltron auquel ne nuirait pas un peu de courage. Après de nombreuses péripéties, les quatre amis atteindront la Cité d’Émeraude. Pour autant, ils ne seront pas au bout de leurs peines, car le magicien d’Oz exigera d’eux un exploit hors du commun… Mais cela suffira-t- il ? Et ce magicien d’Oz est-il vraiment ce qu’il paraît ?Ce volume reprend les deux premiers tomes originels de la série des livres d’Oz : Le Magicien d’Oz et Le Merveilleux Pays d’Oz, lequel met en scène les aventures de Tip et de Jack Tête-de-citrouille au pays d’Oz.

Im 7. Band der Oz-Reihe - Das Patchwork-Mädchen von Oz - muß der Munchkin-Junge Ojo eine gefährliche Mission antreten, um seinen durch einen Zauber versteinerten Onkel zu retten.

Das hatte der Bucklige Magier sich anders vorgestellt: Die Erschaffung eines belebten Patchwork-Mädchen als Dienstmagd für seine Frau geht so gründlich schief, daß nicht nur seine Frau zu Stein geworden ist, sondern auch das wiederbelebende Pulver verschüttet wurde. Nun setzt er seine ganze Hoffnung in den jungen Ojo, dessen Onkel bei demselben Vorfall ebenfalls versteinert wurde. Ojo soll die nötigen Zutaten für ein neues Zaubermittel beschaffen. Zu seiner Unterstützung begleiten ihn das Patchwork-Mädchen und eine gläserne Katze. Die Mission ist voller Gefahren, und der kleine Munchkin-Junge, der sein ganzes bisheriges Leben in einem abgeschiedenen Wald verbrachte, muß Einiges über das Leben lernen ... 

Empfohlenes Alter: 5 bis 10 Jahre. Große Schrift, auch für Leseanfänger geeignet.
