Le magicien d'Oz (Richard et le secret des livres magiques, #6)

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.

Dorothy And The Wizard In 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

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.

Le magicien d'Oz

The Tin Woodman, ruler of the Winkle Country of the Land of Oz, is happy in his tin castle with his best friend, the Scarecrow, at his side. But a visit from Woot, a young traveler, reminds him of the days when he was flesh-and-blood and loved a fair munchkin girl named Nimmie Amee. Dragons, a mighty sorceress and a hungry beast called the Hippo-gy-raf stand between the Tin Woodsman and his love, but with help from Polychrome, Ozma and Dorothy, he eventually finds Nimmie-who is not quite convinced she wants to become Empress of the Winkle Country. The Tin Woodman of Oz is the twelfth book in the Oz series. It sold 18, 600 copies upon publication in 1918, reversing a trend of declining sales for L. Frank Baum's Oz books. The wonderful legacy of L. Frank Baum's world lives on today in the work of authors like Gregory Maguire and Robert A. Heinlein, and in Oz the Great and Powerful, the film starring James Franco, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, and Mila Kunis.
