Princess Ozma and Dorothy travel to an obscure corner of the Land of Oz, in order to prevent a war between two local powers, the Skeezers and the Flatheads. The leaders of the two tribes prove obstinate. Unable to prevent the war, Dorothy and Ozma find themselves imprisoned on the Skeezers' glass-covered island, which has been magically submerged to the bottom of its lake. Their situation worsens when the warlike queen Coo-ee-oh, who is holding them captive and who alone knows how to raise the island back to the surface of the lake, loses her battle and gets transformed into a swan, forgetting all her magic in the process. Ozma and Dorothy summon Glinda, who, with help from several magicians and magical assistants, must find a way to raise the island and liberate its trapped inhabitants. (Excerpt from Wikipedia)
作者简介
L. Frank Baum, born on May 15, 1856, in Chittenango, New York, is an iconic figure in American literature, best known for his revolutionary contributions to children's fantasy. Baum's early life was marked by a series of entrepreneurial ventures, from breeding fancy poultry to managing a theater, which imbued him with a rich tapestry of experiences that would later color his imaginative works.Baum's most enduring legacy is the creation of the magical Land of Oz, a fantastical realm that has captivated readers for over a century. His innovative storytelling broke away from the grim moralism of traditional fairy tales, offering instead a world where whimsy and wonder took center stage. This shift not only delighted young readers but also paved the way for future fantasy writers, including J.K. Rowling and Neil Gaiman.A forward-thinking individual, Baum was a vocal advocate for women's suffrage, influenced by his mother-in-law, Matilda Joslyn Gage, a prominent suffragist. This progressive stance is subtly reflected in his strong, independent female characters, who often defy the gender norms of their time.Baum's life was not without controversy. His editorial work included racially insensitive remarks about Native Americans, which have since marred his legacy. Despite this, his contributions to literature remain significant, offering a blend of escapism and subtle social commentary that continues to resonate with modern audiences.Baum's imaginative worlds and pioneering spirit have left an indelible mark on the landscape of American literature, ensuring his place as a seminal figure whose influence endures in contemporary storytelling.
