《绿野仙踪》是美国作家弗兰克·鲍姆的代表作。1970年被列为20世纪世界十五大畅销书之一。它已经被翻译为多种语言。《绿野仙踪》又翻译为《绿野寻仙记》，它讲述的是小女孩多露茜的历险故事。多露茜聪明、善良、勇敢，她被龙卷风吹到了另一个地方，在那里，她结识了狮子、稻草人和铁皮人等小伙伴，他们都有自己的优点和缺点，在历险的过程中，多露茜帮助他们改掉了自己的缺点。故事情节跌宕起伏、曲折动人，使本书成为各国儿童喜欢的现代童话故事之一，足以与安徒生童话和格林童话媲美。
《绿野仙踪》发表后，在读者中引起了巨大反响，纷纷要求作者继续为他们写出更好的作品，于是鲍姆又陆续创作了十三部续集，其中《奥芝仙境》是续集中的佳作。本书收录了他的《绿野仙踪》和《奥芝仙境》两部作品。《奥芝仙境》讲述的是小男孩蒂普的历险记，他与稻草人、铁皮人、南瓜人、锯木马历经种种艰难险阻，在历险中他们运用聪明才智与坏女巫斗智斗勇，在格林达女王的帮助下，取得了胜利，蒂普也成为翡翠国的女王——原来是坏女巫将他变成男孩，实际上他是翡翠王国的公主——奥芝玛。

Chapter 1
Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife. Their house was small, for the lumber to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles. There were four walls, a floor and a roof, which made one room; and this room contained a rusty looking cooking stove, a cupboard for the dishes, a table, three or four chairs, and the beds. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had a big bed in one corner, and Dorothy a little bed in another corner. There was no garret at all, and no cellar-except a small hole, dug in the ground, called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose, mighty enough to crush any building in its path. It was reached by a trap-door in the middle of the floor, from which a ladder led down into the small, dark hole.
When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached the edge of the sky in all directions. The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass, with little cracks running through it. Even the grass was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere. Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away, and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else.
When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young, pretty wife. The sun and wind had changed her, too. They had taken the sparkle from her eyes and left them a sober gray; they had taken the red from her cheeksand lips, and they were gray also. She was thin and gaunt, and never smiled, now. When Dorothy, who was an orphan, first came to her, Aunt Em had been so startled by the child's laughter that she would scream and press her hand upon her heart whenever Dorothy's merry voice reached her ears; and she still looked at the little girl with wonder that she could find anything to laugh at.
Uncle Henry never laughed. He worked hard from morning till night and did not know what joy was. He was gray also, from his long beard to his rough boots, and he looked stern and solemn, and rarely spoke.
It was Toto that made Dorothy laugh, and saved her from growing as gray as her other surroundings. Toto was not gray; he was a little black dog, with long, silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose. Toto played all day long, and Dorothy played with him, and loved him dearly.
To-day, however, they were not playing. Uncle Henry sat upon the door-step and looked anxiously at the sky, which was even grayer than usual. Dorothy stood in the door with Toto in her arms, and looked at the sky too. Aunt Em was washing the dishes.
From the far north they heard a low wail of the wind, and Uncle Henry and Dorothy could see where the long grass bowed in waves before the coming storm. There now came a sharp whistling in the air from the south, and as they turned their eyes that way they saw ripples in the grass coming from that direction also.
Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up.
"There's a cyclone coming, Em," he called to his wife; "I'll go look after the stock." Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows and horses were kept.
Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door. One glance told her of the danger close at hand.
"Quick, Dorothy!" she screamed; "run for the cellar!"
Toto jumped out of Dorothy's arms and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get him. Aunt Em, badly frightened, threw open the trap-door in the floor and climbed down the ladder into the small, dark hole. Dorothy caught Toto at last, and started to follow her aunt. When she was half way across the room there came a great shriek from the wind, and the house shook so hard that she lost her footing and sat down suddenly upon the floor.
A strange thing then happened.
The house whirled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air. Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon.
The north and south winds met where the house stood, and made it the exact center of the cyclone. In the middle of a cyclone the air is generally still, but the great pressure of the wind on every side of the house raised it up higher and higher, until it was at the very top of the cyclone; and there it remained and was carried miles and miles away as easily as you could carry a feather.
It was very dark, and the wind howled horribly around her, but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily. After the first few whirls around, and one other time when the house tipped badly, she felt as if she were being rocked gently, like a baby in a cradle.
Toto did not like it. He ran about the room, now here, now there, barking loudly; but Dorothy sat quite still on the floor and waited to see what would happen.
Once Toto got too near the open trap-door, and fell in; and at first the little girl thought she had lost him. But soon she saw one of his ears sticking up through the hole, for the strong pressure of the air was keeping him up so that he could not fall. She crept to the hole, caught Toto by the ear, and dragged him into the room again; afterward closing the trap-door so that no more accidents could happen.
Hour after hour passed away, and slowly Dorothy got over her fright; but she felt quite lonely, and the wind shrieked so loudly all about her that she nearly became deaf. At first she had wondered if she would be dashed to pieces when the house fell again; but as the hours passed and nothing terrible happened, she stopped worrying and resolved to wait calmly and see what the future would bring. At last she crawled over the swaying floor to her bed, and lay down upon it; and Toto followed and lay down beside her.
In spite of the swaying of the house and the wailing of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.

用户评价
这本书的装帧设计真的太棒了，拿到手里沉甸甸的，纸张的质感摸起来很舒服，不是那种廉价的、一翻就卷边的感觉。封面设计充满了复古的油画风，色彩搭配得恰到好处，那种带着一丝怀旧感的金色和绿色交织在一起，让人立刻就能联想到那个充满奇幻色彩的奥兹国。我特别喜欢那种细节处理，比如字体选择，既保持了经典的气息，又不会让人觉得过于老旧难以阅读。内页的排版也做得相当用心，行距和字号都非常适中，即便是长时间阅读也不会感到眼睛疲劳。作为一个收藏者，我会把这本书放在书架最显眼的位置，它不仅仅是一本可以阅读的书，更像是一件精美的艺术品，展示了出版商在细节上的极致追求。而且，这种精装本拿在手里，总会让人对阅读本身产生一种仪式感，感觉自己正在开启一段庄重而美妙的旅程。我毫不犹豫地认为，冲着这份制作水准，它就值回票价了。
评分这本书的文字叙述方式，有一种魔力，它像是一位经验丰富的老者，坐在摇曳的炉火旁，用那种慢悠悠、充满画面感的语调，娓娓道来一个关于勇气、智慧和家的故事。作者的遣词造句非常考究，没有使用太多生僻或晦涩的词汇，却能精准地描绘出各种奇特的场景和人物的内心波动。读起来的节奏感极佳，高潮迭起的部分，笔触会自然加快，让人心跳加速，而那些描述田园风光或心灵成长的段落，又会让人不自觉地放慢速度，细细品味其中的哲理。我尤其欣赏那种不经意的幽默感，它不是那种刻意的笑料，而是从角色真实的反应和处境中自然流露出来的，让人会心一笑。这种文字魅力，使得即便是已经知道大致情节的成年人，重新阅读时，依然能从中挖掘出新的感悟，这才是真正经得起时间考验的文学作品。
评分这本书的整体阅读体验，带给我一种久违的、全身心投入的沉浸感。我发现自己几乎是连夜读完的，完全被那种线性叙事的张力和不断出现的“为什么会这样？”的好奇心所驱使。故事情节的推进巧妙地设置了层层递进的挑战，每一个挑战都精准地对应着主角需要解决的内心困境，使得冒险的意义不再仅仅是抵达目的地，更是自我完善的过程。而且，书中那些充满象征意义的元素——比如黄砖路、会说话的动物、施展法术的巫师——它们在不同的生命阶段被赋予不同的解读，这让这本书具备了惊人的“复读价值”。每一次重温，都会因为自己心境的变化，而对某个角色或某个场景产生全新的理解，仿佛和这本书一起成长了。这种能够跨越年龄界限，持续提供新鲜感和思考深度的作品，是真正的经典。
评分我在阅读过程中，深刻感受到故事的核心主题是多么的贴近人性，远超出了一个简单的“童话”范畴。这本书探讨了关于“自我认知”的深刻命题——我们常常认为自己缺少某种特质，渴望从外界获得认可或力量，殊不知，我们真正所求的品质，早已深藏在自己的内心。看到角色们历经千辛万苦，最终发现智慧、爱心和勇气从未远离时，那种情感上的释放和共鸣是巨大的。它教会了年轻的读者，真正的价值来源于内在的探索和实践，而非外部的赐予。这种积极向上的价值观，在当前这个充斥着速成和外在标签的时代，显得尤为珍贵和必要。它提供了一种健康的心灵成长路径，鼓励人们相信自己的潜能，并勇敢地迈出第一步去发掘它。
评分这本书的配图，简直是为文字注入了灵魂。我发现，这些插画并非仅仅是辅助性的点缀，它们是故事世界观不可或缺的一部分。画师的功力深厚，每一幅插画都仿佛拥有独立的生命力，捕捉到了故事中最具代表性、最能引发读者共鸣的瞬间。无论是那座宏伟却又带着一丝诡谲的翡翠城，还是稻草人略显笨拙的微笑，甚至是飞猴们张开翅膀的动态感，都表现得淋漓尽致。色彩的运用非常大胆且富有想象力，它们完美地诠释了“奇幻”二字的真正含义，那种不真实却又让人深信不疑的视觉冲击力，是再好的文字描述也难以企及的。对于初次接触这个故事的孩子来说，这些图画无疑是最好的引导，帮助他们搭建起一个完整而生动的想象空间；对于成年人而言，它们则唤醒了沉睡已久的童心和对纯粹美好的向往。
