Frank Baum is best known 6h7LoxvEX for THE and the sequels he wrote to that series. All of them tSpnvA6Wi are good but, of course, some are better than others. He wrote other stories as XYNY0vIZY well and most of them take place in the same general locale as the Oz stories. hGWuzfTog The kingdoms and personages may vary but the "feel" remains the same. This YgfCgu2GB book is one such.This is an original fairy tale and has many of the familiar gxS2pK3wG aspects of the classical genre.

I had heard of this book when I was a child pk35GQ1Zn in love with all things Oz but it was out of print at that time. Thankfully, it is TTZn8wfgK available now.The story centers around a magic cloak created by a fairy queen. z4mHTEcrR The possessor of the cloak will be granted one wish.

The cloak provokes jealousies, however, and Noland soon finds itself at war with Ix and ultimately conquered by a bunch of strange beings foreign to both Noland and Ix. The cloak turns out to be a source of trouble as well as a blessing.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Zixi magicBy Robert BottomeMy granddaughter loved it! She read it over and over, every night for several days. Not as marvelous as the Wizard of Oz (by the same author), Queen Zixi of Ix has all the elements of a classic children's tale: characters the reader can relate to; values and a piping good story.Robert Bottomeps - I also read it. And I loved it.
