| 關於作者: |
L. Frank Baum lived from 1856 to 1919. He was born in
Chittenango, New York State and grew up to be a bit of an
entrepreneur. He worked in the theatre, in newspapers and
magazines, he manufactured a patent axle grease called ''Baum''s
Castorine'' and managed a general store called ''Baum''s Bazaar. For a
while he was a poultry farmer and his first book was about raising
chickens! His ideas didn''t earn him much money and he had to think
again. He had always loved telling his children bedtime stories, so
he turned to writing for children. Even in his early books,
retellings of traditional stories, he introduced a little girl
called Dorothy! His children loved his stories about a land called
Oz and in 1900 The Wizard of Oz was published. It was an overnight
success and soon became a stage musical extravaganza for which Baum
wrote the lyrics. The wonderful 1939 film, starring Judy Garland,
gave the story an even higher profile and has become almost as
famous as the book. Baum became so identified with Oz that his
other books had to be published under pseudonyms.
