“莱曼·弗兰克·鲍姆” 的 “名句” 列表

L. Frank Baum never imagined the impact The Wonderful Wizard of Oz would have on children's writing or the appeal the book would have to generations of readers. Although he wrote numerous books, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is easily his most enduring. Baum wanted to write a fairy tale that was American, not European, although he introduced elements of traditional European fairy tales (witches, castles, forests) into the story. By presenting a female protagonist, casual language, characters such as the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, and settings such as Kansas, Baum created a new approach to children's writing that is distinctly American.Before The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, children's books were stilted morality tales designed to instruct or to frighten readers into behaving properly. Baum, however, presented a thrilling adventure from a child's point of view, showing the child's ability to solve her own problems and return to the security of her home.The Wonderful Wizard of Oz received praise from critics and readers alike. Critics applauded Baum's simple storytelling, his message, and his imaginative, believable characters. Readers fell in love with the wonders of Oz and demanded more books about this enchanted land. Although the book did not win any awards during Baum's lifetime, it was given the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1968.

《装强盗的箱子》包括11篇短篇童话和1部中篇童活。短篇童话是美国着名作家利曼·弗兰克·鲍姆写的。可以算作是美国的第一部童话集。起初，这些童话由美国五家报纸每周连载一次，后来，由于童话的知名度越来越高，就辑成集子出版了。美国童话与大部分传统童话不一样，充满了新奇的构思和独特的幻想，反映出美国人民敢于冒险、富于创造的精神以及他们对人生、社会、人与自然、人类生态平衡等问题的思考。思考中不仅宣传了扬善抑恶的观点，还流露出如何维护人的权力的观念及法制观念，是一部比较典型的现代童话。
