  L. Frank Baum never imagined the impact The Wonderful Wizard of Oz would have on childrens 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 childrens writing that is distinctly American.Before The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, childrens books were stilted morality tales designed to instruct or to frighten readers into behaving properly. Baum, however, presented a thrilling adventure from a childs point of view, showing the childs 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 Baums 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 Baums lifetime, it was given the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1968.弗兰克·鲍姆最新鼎力大作，年度必看其他小说。
