The book is based on the classic children's ** movie of the same name. Dorothy, a little girl, goes out alone because she talks back to her adopted aunt, only to be blown by a tornado to a flower-filled Lilliputian. With the help of fairies and people, she travels along the yellow brick road to Green Crystal City to find a way home for the Grand Mage.

On the way, she meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Skin, and the Cowardly Lion. The scarecrow wanted a sorcerer for a brain, the tin man wanted a heart, and the timid lion wanted guts, so they went together. Along the way, they overcome the witch's obstruction and finally make it to Crystal City.

But they found that the magician with boundless mana was nothing more than a magician who was also blown by a tornado, and had no mana at all. Just when they were disappointed, the magician used unexpected methods to make their wishes come true. Dorothy finally returns to her aunt and uncles.

The movie has a moving plot, a beautiful melody, and a profound meaning. Its theme song "Rainbow Song" has been sung endlessly for many years. At the 12th Academy Awards, the film won the awards for Best Original** and Best Song.

The Wizard of Wild Wonderland may seem like a mere children's movie on the surface, but its deep ideological connotations have made it one of the greatest films of all time. In particular, the magician's method of making them wish come true is thought-provoking. As the opening credits say:

This film is not only for children, but also for those who are always young in their state of mind. ”

There are more than 30 editions of this book, divided into two parts, but there are many names for the little girl, my book is called Dorothy, and the magician is Ozie. The author is Frank of the United States. Baum.

One of his words left me with a deep feeling: "My books are written for those who are eternally young in heart, no matter how old they are." ”

This book is growing up with me, there are many "spices" that I didn't know before reading this book, and there are also things worth remembering, although it has been many years, but when I pick up this book again, I can still recall the childishness and innocence of those years. The first time I knew this book, at first I accidentally listened to the light ** at home and found that there was a song called "The Wizard of Oz" on it, there was a kind of déjà vu tremor at that time, and then a book given to me by a friend also mentioned the Wizard of Oz, which made me particularly abnormal, and then I went to the Central Plains Book Building to find this book to wait and see. Since then, he has formed a relationship with this book.

It was also because of this book that I came into contact with Verne's books, and the bookworms I read later—Pride and Prejudice, The Catcher in the Rye, and the ...... the Brontës

There are many famous books that I want to read, but time always does not allow me to get involved, maybe this is just an excuse that cannot be used as an excuse、、、

Gods and demons**The Wizard of Oz.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Li Baichuan, who likes to talk about ghosts and monsters, spent nine years writing "The Wizard of Oz" in his life journey of running around and experiencing hardships and setbacks.

The Wizard of Oz is a literary achievement. It has made breakthroughs and innovations in the traditional gods and demons, integrating gods and demons, world conditions, and history.

**'s character descriptions are very wonderful, especially those small people who are active in the mortal world. **The section in which Wen Ruyu, the son of a high-ranking official, is greedy for fireworks and bankrupt is the most exciting. According to Mr. Zheng Zhenduo, this is "the best passage of 'The Wizard of Oz' and the best passage of many 'brothel literature'."

**The pen is very old and spicy, atmospheric, and full of humor. The dialogue of the characters written is Bi Xiao, the voice is colorful, and the personality, identity, and psychology of the characters can be expressed in the spoken language, which is really the style of a language master.

Li Baichuan's friend Tao Jiahe praised this book as "the great landscape in the department". Mr. Zheng Zhenduo listed "The Wizard of Oz" and "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Confucianism" as the three major ** in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

The author of The Wizard of Oz is Frank Baum

Lyman Frank Baum was born on May 15, 1856, in the village of Yasuko Saito, New York, and preferred to be called Frank. He was a sickly child who was born with a bad heart and suffered from a lifelong illness.

In 1900, Frank published his most famous work, The Wizard of Oz, which was an instant success. The New York Times called it "skillfully woven from mundane material, far beyond the ordinary level of today's fairy tale books."

Frank skillfully blends the fantastical elements of his beloved fairy tales — witches, wizards, talking animals, and magical creatures — with the customs of the American Midwest. The central character of the story is the brave little girl Dorothy, and the young readers immediately identify with her. Since then, the United States finally has a classic fairy tale produced locally.

The personal experience of Frank, the author of The Wizard of Oz

Frank's adaptation of The Wizard of Oz into a play was staged on Broadway to rave reviews. After that, he devoted all his energy to writing, creating many children's books and plays under his real name and many different pseudonyms. However, at the request of a wide reader, and also due to financial necessity, he returned to continue the story of Oz.

He published the first sequel to The Wizard of Oz, The Wonderful Land of Oz, in 1904.

In 1910, Frank and Mondstadt traveled to California to settle in Hollywood, then a sleepy town. Their home is known as "Oz Hut".

Frank continued to write, while also investing heavily in adapting his work into a play, and even invested in a film company, only to lose all his money. He declared himself "the royal historian of Oz", adding a new book to the series every year, but never again achieving the success of the first one.

The author of The Wizard of Oz is Frank Baum

Lyman Frank Baum, a famous American children's writer and playwright, was born in New York in 1856. He worked as a journalist, actor, and small farmer, and began to write in 1889.

Lyman Frank Baum wrote more than 60 literary works in his lifetime, and his first collection of short fairy tales, The Tales of Daddy Goose, was the first collection of short fairy tales in the history of American children's literature. The Wizard of Oz, published in 1900, was Baum's most famous and popular work, and 13 sequels followed.

Because of his great contributions to American children's literature, people respected him as the "father of American children's literature", and he himself named himself "the royal historian of the Ozhi Kingdom".

Early life experience

Baum showed a talent for writing and storytelling at an early age, and at the age of 15 he ran his family newspaper found a local success. When he became fascinated with theater creation, his father bought him several theaters that gave him the opportunity to show his talent to the fullest.

Baum had a wide range of interests, and in adulthood he worked in a variety of professions, including journalist, actor, company employee, small farmer, grocery store owner, and more. For a long time, he needed to travel around the world for business, and he even traveled to China, where his travels greatly increased his knowledge.

As a father, Baum often recalls the stories he heard in his childhood. He found the stories dull and boring, full of obnoxious morals and admonitions. He conceived some stories that were enjoyable to listen to, and at the same time adapted the children's songs into stories.

A children's fairy tale book, in the eyes of children, this book may be like "Snow White" and "Cinderella", which can illuminate the most beautiful woman in the world, poisonous apples, pumpkin carriages, crystal slippers, etc., the scarecrow, the tin woodcutter, the lion, Dorothy's silver shoes, the Emerald City, the "supernatural" Ozhi, the witches in the east, west, north and south are full of fantasy colors, children will be attracted by these "mana", in fact, adults are not, fantasy stories are fascinating.

But it feels like this book is not just a fairy tale book, Dorothy and her little dog Toto, as if they were blown here by the wind, she has been looking to return to her uncle's house, and in the process of searching, she meets a scarecrow, a tin woodcutter, and a lion.

The scarecrow was made by people to drive away birds and crows, but later a crow realized that he was just a brainless scarecrow and was no longer afraid of him, so the scarecrow wanted a thinking brain, and after it was destroyed, Dorothy saved it, and then they went together to find the Emerald City, because only Ozhi of the Emerald City could help them.

Then on the way, he met the tin woodcutter, who fell in love with a girl, and as a result, someone cut off his left leg, right leg, and hands in order to prevent him from being with the girl, and finally even the heart he loved the girl was removed, so the tin woodcutter wanted a heart.

As the group sets out on the road, they encounter a lion, who is considered the "king of beasts" but has little guts, so his goal is to pray for his guts.

A little girl, a cute puppy, a scarecrow, a tin woodcutter, and a lion, the five-person group is on the road, which reminds me of the four Tang monks and masters and the white dragon horse in "Journey to the West". The four Tang monks and apprentices are to learn scriptures from the west, while Dorothy and the scarecrow are on the road for their own ideals, and they are unswerving from beginning to end.

But, in reality, the scarecrow has always been a good man in this line of work, the tin woodcutter has always had a good heart, and the lion has always stepped up when he is in trouble. Don't scarecrows have brains? Does the tin woodcutter have no heart?

Don't lions have guts? When Ozie explained everything that was given to the scarecrow brain, the tin woodcutter a heart, and the lion's guts, was it really given? I think it's actually a kind of comfort in people's hearts, because they already have these things.

Just like people, they have been pursuing for the goal, in fact, as long as the goal is persevered to the end, the final result is just to get comfort in the heart, because this process is the most important, and the process of your pursuit is actually the process of achieving yourself.

I like the Emerald City in the book, like a peach blossom spring, living and working in peace and contentment, performing their duties, and living happily. The Emerald City is conjured up by Aozhi, that is, let other people wear green glasses, and everything turns green, although it is a fantasy story, but reading this, I always feel that the Emerald City gives people a feeling of returning to nature.

One of my favorite books is The Wizard of Oz, which my mom bought me. When I arrived at it, my heart was sweet, and I held it and went home with my mother. As soon as I got home, I opened "The Wizard of Oz" and watched it with relish, not even bothering to take a small bite of food.

The mother said worriedly, "Child, let's eat!" I said

After reading this book, I ate, "However, I saw 7 o'clock, and I didn't eat a bite of food, until I saw that it was almost 9 o'clock, and I shouted loudly to the sleeping one." Mom said:

Mom, I'm done, you see, I've finished reading such a thick book. Mom's eyes widened and she was surprised and said, "Finished reading it so soon?"

What a skill! I said to my mother, "Haha, I didn't expect that I could read so much!"

"This book has given me a lot of interesting imagination, and I will make up many interesting stories, such as "TV in the Universe", "Fruit Clothing Store" and so on.

Just because of this book, there are two reading star awards on the wall of my house! When my father read it, he said to me happily, "Little book lover, you are really good!" ”

One day, I did a great good deed, and it was related to this book, I was watching TV with my grandmother, and suddenly I heard the sound of water flowing, and my grandmother jumped, and I ran over, and according to the things in the book, I was inspired, and I used a book to put on the mat, and there were towels and other items, and after my method, the water stopped flowing. By the time grandma finds Dad, I've already fixed it! Dad praised me and said:

It's so smart, it's wise in a hurry! ”

Until now, "The Wizard of Oz" is still like I just bought it! Because I love it so much!
