Yes. A tale is an account of an event, be it real or imagined. The Wizard of Oz is a fictional, imaginary, made-up account of Dorothy's and Toto's adventures in the land of Oz. Traditional tales tell stories in ways that fit in with the attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, and principles of a particular country, culture, or people. And The Wizard of Oz respects commonly accepted attitudes, beliefs, principles, and standards of behavior regarding right and wrong, good and evil.

A fairy tale is what "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum is.

Specifically, a fairy tale involves magic and such magical creatures as fairies. It does not come out in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," but later in the royal histories of Oz we find out that Oz exists because of the Fairy Queen Lurleen and her band of fairies. It does come out that there are talking animals, which can be a hallmark of folk tales. But "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" cannot be said to incorporate such other folk characteristics as reflecting a pre-existence in a country's oral tradition.

That there are no fairies is how "The Wizard of Oz" differs from other Fairy Tales.

Specifically, fairy tales involve fairies and magic. The magic is present in, but the fairies absent from, the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film edition of "The Wizard of Oz." But on the other hand, fairies live in Oz, which exists because of the Fairy Queen Lurleen. But readers learn about the fairy presence, not in the first book, but later on in the royal histories of Oz.
