The publication includes two stories by the famous American writer Frank Baum (1856–1919): “Ozma from Oz” and “Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz” translated by S. Yu. Afonkin. The main character of these stories is well known to readers from the book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” Now Dorothy Gale from Kansas awaits new adventures, including in the underworld, as well as unexpected encounters with amazing creatures. This edition is illustrated with drawings by the American artist John Rea Neill, who once adorned the first publications of Baum's books.
The story of the American writer Frank Baum, which tells the story of Dorothy. The Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion and the Land of Oz, became a bestseller at the end of the 1893th century. Baum did everything possible to ensure that as many young readers as possible became acquainted with his heroes - he worked on theatrical productions of his story, drew comics for newspapers and magazines, which described the new adventures of his heroes. Before the start of his literary career, Frank made a living selling all sorts of things in a modest store that he opened in one of the towns of Dakota. The success of the first book suggested to Baum that the gold mine he had found should be further developed. Following the first story about the land of Oz, the second followed. New heroes appeared in it - Jack Pumpkinhead, Somersault Beetle, revived Goats and other characters. The second book was followed by a third. On its pages, Dorothy again found herself in a magical land inhabited by amazing creatures, and met her good old friends - the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Wizard of Oz and many others. In the fourth book, Baum sent his main character into the underworld, where Dorothy ended up in the City of Glass and met the Mangabeans, invisible bears and flying gargoyles. Baum diversified his narrative, again introducing new characters into it - the horse Jim, his coachman the boy Zeb, the cat Eureka. You are holding in your hands a translation of Baum's third and fourth books. And this is just part of a long series of stories about Dorothy's adventures. The first edition of Baum's story about the land of Oz was published in the USA with illustrations by William Denslow; Baum met him in XNUMX. He liked the drawings of this artist, who specialized in making posters and posters. According to Baum, this style with clear contour lines and large spots of color was needed for a children's book. For Denslow, working with Baum was the pinnacle of his career. All of Baum's subsequent books about Dorothy's adventures were illustrated by another artist, John Rea Neill. They are the ones that accompany this book. Neill began his career as an illustrator drawing comics for a Philadelphia newspaper. As with Denslow, Neill's drawings for Frank Baum's Oz stories made the artist famous in the United States. Neill continued to illustrate books about the adventures of Dorothy even after the death of Baum himself, when Ruth Thompson was already writing new stories about the heroes from Oz. When she retired from this work, Neill himself came up with several more stories about the land of Oz and illustrated them himself.
