Una de las historias más perdurables de la literatura infantil estadounidense. Traducción de Ignacio Gómez Calvo Introducción de Jack Zipes Arrancada de su hogar en Kansas por un huracán, la pequeña Dorothy aterriza en un mundo desconocido. Comienza asi una travesia junto a su perro Toto en busca de la unica persona capaz de devolverlos a casa: el Mago de Oz. Durante el viaje hasta Ciudad Esmeralda, donde vive esa figura, se enfrentaran a un sinfin de obstaculos y peligros, pero contaran tambien con inestimables aliados: un espantapajaros sin cerebro, un leon sin coraje y un hombre de hojalata sin corazon. Mas de un siglo despues de su publicacion, la magia de L. Frank Baum se despliega ante nosotros como si el tiempo apenas hubiera transcurrido. Con la iluminadora introduccion del profesor y estudioso Jack Zipes y las ilustraciones que han acompañado a la novela desde sus inicios, esta edicion rinde homenaje a una de las aventuras mas entrañables de todos los tiempos. Ray Bradbury dijo...L. Frank Baum ha llenado nuestro siglo, de principio a fin, de ingenuos gozos e insospechados deleites.

Cuéntale a Oz lo que te ha pasado y pídele que te ayude.«—El camino a la Ciudad de las Esmeraldas es de adoquines amarillos —dijo la bruja—, así que no tiene pérdida.»

In "Tamawaca Folks," L. Frank Baum deftly weaves a tapestry of whimsical narratives set in a fictionalized version of the resort town of Tamawaca, alongside the peaceful shores of Lake Michigan. Through a series of interconnected tales, Baum employs a richly descriptive literary style, reminiscent of his beloved Oz series, yet distinct in its more grounded, human characters. The book offers a captivating exploration of small-town life, filled with charming eccentricities and poignant interactions that reveal the joys and struggles of its inhabitants, all while subtly critiquing contemporary social dynamics of the early 20th century. L. Frank Baum, famed for creating the magical land of Oz, drew upon his own experiences as a writer, playwright, and entrepreneur in American popular culture.

Readers seeking a delightful blend of humor, warmth, and insightful reflections on community life will find "Tamawaca Folks" to be a rewarding addition to their literary collection.

With the aid of some friendly birds and magical berries, the group are eventually carried safely across the deadly desert to Oz.

With misfortune on every side, things look dicey for Trot and her companions, until the Scarecrow catches wind of the events from the Great Book of Records. Will Glinda be able to help depose the despot Krewl and save the lives of Cap'n Bill and the Princess?
