Queen Zixi of Ix or, The Story of the Magic Cloak

A Really-Truly Fairy-Story. The very title is unique and alluring, and it foretells a great feast of fun and fancy, in which Mr. Baum's whimsical imagination is at its best. The story has both a hero and a heroine, a boy and a girl--"King Bud" and "Princess Fluff"--and very wonderful things befall them. And besides the charming "Queen Zixi of Ix", there is a fine array of remarkable characters, including "Aunt Rivette", the five "High Counselors": "Tallydab", "Tellydeb", etc., "Jikki, the king's valet", the firece "Roly-Rogues", and others. Illustrated with seventy-six drawings.
