Reseña del libro "Glinda of Oz (en Inglés)"

In which are related the Exciting Experiences of Princess Ozma of Oz, and Dorothy, in their hazardous journey to the home of the Flatheads, and to the Magic Isle of the Skeezers, and how they were rescued from dire peril by the sorcery of Glinda the Good This Book is Dedicated to My Son Robert Stanton Baum Chapter 1 The Call to Duty Glinda, the good Sorceress of Oz, sat in the grand court of her palace, surrounded by her maids of honor-a hundred of the most beautiful girls of the Fairyland of Oz. The palace court was built of rare marbles, exquisitely polished. Fountains tinkled musically here and there; the vast colonnade, open to the south, allowed the maidens, as they raised their heads from their embroideries, to gaze upon a vista of rose-hued fields and groves of trees bearing fruits or laden with sweet-scented flowers. At times one of the girls would start a song, the others joining in the chorus, or one would rise and dance, gracefully swaying to the music of a harp played by a companion. And then Glinda smiled, glad to see her maids mixing play with work. Presently among the fields an object was seen moving, threading the broad path that led to the castle gate. Some of the girls looked upon this object enviously; the Sorceress merely gave it a glance and nodded her stately head as if pleased, for it meant the coming of her friend and mistress-the only one in all the land that Glinda bowed to. Then up the path trotted a wooden animal attached to a red wagon, and as the quaint steed halted at the gate there descended from the wagon two young girls, Ozma, Ruler of Oz, and her companion, Princess Dorothy. Both were dressed in simple white muslin gowns, and as they ran up the marble steps of the palace they laughed and chatted as gaily as if they were not the most important persons in the world's loveliest fairyland. The maids of honor had risen and stood with bowed heads to greet the royal Ozma, while Glinda came forward with outstretched arms to greet her guests. "We've just come on a visit, you know," said Ozma. "Both Dorothy and I were wondering how we should pass the day when we happened to think we'd not been to your Quadling Country for weeks, so we took the Sawhorse and rode straight here." "And we came so fast," added Dorothy, "that our hair is blown all fuzzy, for the Sawhorse makes a wind of his own. Usually it's a day's journey from the Em'rald City, but I don't s'pose we were two hours on the way." "You are most welcome," said Glinda the Sorceress, and led them through the court to her magnificent reception hall. Ozma took the arm of her hostess, but Dorothy lagged behind, kissing some of the maids she knew best, talking with others, and making them all feel that she was their friend.

Lyman Frank Baum (1856–1919), más conocido como L. Frank Baum, fue un escritor estadounidense célebre por crear el universo fantástico de El maravilloso mago de Oz. Aunque no fue autor de cómics en el sentido moderno, su obra ha inspirado innumerables adaptaciones en historietas, cine y otros medios. Baum comenzó su carrera en el periodismo y el teatro, pero alcanzó el éxito literario con la publicación de The Wonderful Wizard of Oz en 1900.

Este libro, ilustrado por W. W. Denslow, se convirtió rápidamente en un clásico de la literatura infantil. La historia de Dorothy y sus aventuras en la tierra de Oz dio lugar a una serie de más de una docena de libros escritos por Baum, en los que expandió ese mundo mágico con nuevos personajes y escenarios.

Su estilo se caracteriza por la imaginación desbordante, el humor y una narrativa accesible para jóvenes lectores, aunque también contiene lecturas simbólicas más profundas. Baum fue pionero en la creación de mundos fantásticos coherentes, lo que influyó en generaciones posteriores de escritores y creadores.

Además de Oz, escribió otras obras bajo distintos seudónimos, abarcando géneros como la fantasía, el teatro y la narrativa juvenil. Su legado perdura como una de las bases de la fantasía moderna y la cultura popular.
