( 0 )

Lyman Frank Baum (15/5/1856 – 6/5/1919) sinh ra tại Chittenango, New York, năm 1856, là nhà văn viết truyện thần thoại nổi tiếng nhất của nước Mỹ.

Ông đã từng thử qua rất nhiều nghề nhưng đều không như ý, cho đến tuổi bốn mươi mới khẳng định được chân tài của mình trong việc viết truyện theo kiểu cổ tích thần kỳ. Trong khi ở Chicago, vợ ông, bà Maud đã giục ông viết ra những câu chuyện mà ông vẫn kể cho lũ trẻ con hàng xóm nghe mỗi tối.

Phù thuỷ xứ Oz, câu chuyện đầu tiên được in vào năm 1900 trong số mười lăm câu chuyện dài về xứ Oz chính là tác phẩm nổi tiếng nhất của ông. Tuy nhiên, Lyman Frank Baum còn rất nổi danh với một gia tài đồ sộ những truyện thần thoại khác cũng như những quyển mà ông viết với bút danh khác.

Ông còn tham gia viết nhiều vở kịch và chuyển thể bộ sách về xứ Oz thành phim.

The story opens with a quick overview of Santa's castle in the Laughing Valley. Its focus soon switches to the five Caves of the Daemons in nearby (though unnamed) mountains. These creatures are pagan daemons rather than Christian demons, in that they are not servants of Satan or necessarily evil. Four of the five, the Daemons of Selfishness, Envy, Hatred, and Malice, certainly are bad, but the...

WITH The Sea Fairies, my book for 1911, I ventured into a new field of fairy literature and to my delight the book was received with much approval by my former readers, many of whom have written me that they like Trot "almost as well as Dorothy."
