      作者:Lyman Frank Baum/著

      作者簡介

       法蘭克.包姆(Lyman Frank Baum 1856-1919)  

       法蘭克.包姆,1856年出生於紐約州的一個小鎮,從小體孱多病,鍾愛遨遊自己的內心世界,創造虛幻的場景與玩伴以取樂。

       他喜愛讀書寫詩與創作,14歲時就在家中發行地方報紙,不到20歲就擔任了《紐約世界報》(the New York World)的記者。

       1899年出版了童謠集《鵝爸爸的書》(Father Goose, His Book),是他躍登文壇的第一本書,也是當年銷售第一的童書,從此一        鳴驚人。一年後再出版《綠野仙蹤》(The Wizard of Oz),之後又續以奧茲王國(the Land of Oz)為題材,寫了十幾本童話故事,人      們彷彿永遠也聽不膩奧茲王國的故事,他也被譽為「奧茲王國的皇室歷史家」(Royal Historian of Oz)。

       正如他在「綠野仙蹤」中的自序所言,要創造一個沒有教化意味,只有歡笑愉悅的世界,人們也稱他為當代童書世界的安徒生和格        林兄弟,但他曾說:「My books are intended for all those whose hearts are young, no matter what their ages may be.」(我的書是為      那些有年輕心靈的人們而寫,不論他們的實際年齡為何。)而我們也看到,他的故事是如何在世界各地為人所喜愛、所傳頌著。

  Seattle被稱為 Emerald city
        Q: Why is seattle called emerald city?
       
        A:    From 1869 until 1982, Seattle was known as the "Queen City". Seattle's current official nickname is the "Emerald City", the result of a contest held in the early 1980s; the reference is to the lush evergreen forests of the area. Seattle is also referred to informally as the "Gateway to Alaska", "Rain City", and "Jet City", the last from the local influence of Boeing. Seattle residents are known as Seattleites.
