Post subject: | The Glass Dog - Frank Baum |
Knowing that Frank Baum gave to its fairy tales an American 'face' by adding modern/contemporary elements, we can notice in The Glass Dog such things. For example, I found it funny that a wizard is living in a tenement house. The story deals with an interesting twist and shows that not all fairy tales have the 'happily ever-after' ending and that not all marriages work out. It seems to me that Baum is trying also to underline that beauty is rather causing problems more than solving them. |
