O Mágico de Oz conta a história de Dorothy Gale, uma órfã que vivia com os tios numa fazenda do Kansas, nos Estados Unidos. Um dia, um ciclone arranca do chão a casa onde moravam. Os tios conseguem e

La primera edición de Cuentos de hadas del Nuevo Mundo en la que se basa ésta que tienes en tus manos, fue publicada por George M. Hill la firma responsable de El mago de Oz en 1901. Sus doce relatos aparecieron seriados en cinco grandes periodicos: el Pittsburgh Dispatch, el Boston Post, el Cincinnati Enquirer, el St. Louis Republic, y el Chicago Chronicle. Para algunos estudiosos, lo mas criticable de estas historias es, precisamente, el intento de Baum de superar el cuento maravilloso clasico donde"es imposible identificar el universo en el cual se desarrolla la accion", recurriendo a la moderna narrativa fantastica cuyo"universo tiende a ser replica del nuestro". Aqui, por ejemplo, los magos viven en edificios de apartamentos, y son doctores en ciencias quimicas. Segun Russel B. Nye, los"Cuentos de hadas del Nuevo Mundo, son muy superiores a las educativas historias infantiles al uso, aunque en ellos, Baum no observo la primera regla de la narracion maravillosa, que es crear una tierra de nunca jamas, en la que todas las leyes de la probabilidad puedan ser creiblemente contravenidas o suspendidas". Martin Gardner, ademas, añade que"Baum inyecto en estas historias una dosis de comedia adulta, mas alta de lo habitual; agudezas que pocos lectores jovenes pudieron apreciar". Aunque mas adelante matiza:"A pe...

El mago de Oz (The Wizard of Oz) está basada en la novela infantil de L. Frank Baum El maravilloso mago de Oz, en la cual una joven estadounidense es arrastrada por un tornado en el estado de Kansas y dejada en una fantástica tierra donde habitan brujas buenas y malas, un espantapájaros que habla, un león cobarde, un hombre de hojalata y otros seres extraordinarios.

"Oz, the Great Wizard! The very name of L. Frank Baum's magical character conjures a world where diminutive munchkins live and work, wicked witches run riot, and the mighty Oz himself rules over an Emerald City reached by a yellow brick road. The Wizard of Oz: The First Five Novels is your passport to this marvellous realm and wonders that have enchanted readers young and old for more than a century. Lavishly illustrated by W. W. Denslow and John R. Neill, this volume includes: 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz', 'The Marvelous Land of Oz', 'Ozma of Oz', 'Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz', 'The Road to Oz'."

El maravilloso Mago de Oz aportó la novedad de ser un cuento fantástico en el que los tradicionales estereotipos de los cuentos de hadas fueron sustituidos por personajes también fantásticos pero más creibles. Dorothy Gales es una muchacha que vive con sus tios en Kansas. Un dia, de repente, un remolino de viento la transportara hasta una tierra fantastica donde de la mano de un espantapajaros sin seso, un leon cobarde y un leñador de hojalata sin corazon correran numerosas aventuras en la tierra que gobierna el mago Oz. El maravilloso Mago de Oz es una de la obras de la literatura que mas adaptaciones ha tenido. Ha sido obra de teatro, pelicula, musicala y siempre con gran aceptacion entre el publico. Baum dejo que todo el argumento se desarrollase en un mundo magico e infantil y, sin embargo, la realidad, que introdujo a base de elementos desmitificadores, convirtio el relato en una fabula critica de la sociedad norteamericana de aquella epoca.
