Christmas Stories by L. Frank Baum

No one intended to leave Martha alone that afternoon, but it happened that everyone was called away, for one reason or another. Mrs. McFarland was attending the weekly card party held by the Women's Anti-Gambling League. Sister Nell's young man had called quite unexpectedly to take her for a long drive. Papa was at the office, as usual. It was Mary Ann's day out. As for Emeline, she certainly should have stayed in the house and looked after the little girl; but Emeline had a restless nature.

"Would you mind, miss, if I just crossed the alley to speak a word to Mrs. Carleton's girl?" she asked Martha.

"'Course not, " replied the child. "You'd better lock the back door, though, and take the key, for I shall be upstairs."

"Oh, I'll do that, of course, miss, " said the delighted maid, and ran away to spend the afternoon with her friend, leaving Martha quite alone in the big house, and locked in, into the bargain.

The Marvelous Land Of Oz

Pour la première fois en français, l'intégrale en six tomes du Cycle d'Oz, l'oeuvre culte de L. Frank Baum. Le Magicien d'Oz raconte l'histoire de Dorothy, une petite fille qui vit au Kansas chez son oncle et sa tante. Emportée par un cyclone avec son chien Toto, elle se retrouve dans un étrange pays où, avec l'aide de compagnons un peu bizarres - un épouvantail, un homme en fer-blanc et un lion froussard -, elle va affronter non seulement une sorcière particulièrement cruelle, mais aussi des tigres, des singes volants, des loups affamés, une araignée géante...Le Merveilleux Pays d'Oz est la suite du Magicien d'Oz. Le lecteur y fait la rencontre de Tip, un jeune garçon contraint de servir la sorcière Mombi et qui finit par s'échapper avec Jack, un drôle de bonhomme en bois à tête de citrouille. Ensemble, ils vont s'aventurer dans une contrée merveilleuse et affronter de nombreuses épreuves. Tout le monde connaît Le Magicien d'Oz, d'abord par le roman de L. Frank Baum paru en 1900, puis par le film de Victor Fleming (1939). En revanche, on sait moins que Baum donna une suite aux aventures de Dorothy et de ses compagnons - et quelle suite ! Plus de dix volumes parus entre 1900 et 1919, dont nous commençons la publication inédite et intégrale, illustrée par Stéphane Levallois.

Le magicien d'Oz (Oz, #1)

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 ...

Deutsche Erstausgabe.

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