WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Queen Zixi of Ix: or the Story of the Magic Cloak (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback)
This was one of my favorite books as a child - I used to listen to the record (read by Ray Bolger) over and over again. L. Frank Baum out does himself in this one. It is every bit as good as all of the Wizard of Oz books he also penned. Truly magnificent! Read this one to your kids (or just to yourself)!

The Magic Cloak still envokes childhood memories,
By Jessica Lane (Modesto, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Queen Zixi of Ix: or the Story of the Magic Cloak (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback)
This is one of those books that you remember reading in front of a fire, and for little girl you probably envisionsed actually slipping on the coat made by fairies. I read this about 20 years ago and I can still summon up the feelings I got reading it, just by hearing, "Queen Xixi." I noticed this book by chance and decided I needed to re-own it. Please read this to you child, even if he happens to be a boy. All of us love fairies, we just haven't seen one, but this book allows us to.

Baum and his incredible, magical prose,
By A Customer
This review is from: Queen Zixi of Ix: or the Story of the Magic Cloak (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback)
Baum presents a high fantasy, set in the rival kingdoms of Ix and Noland. Central to the story is a magic cloak woven by fairies, and the mishaps and adventures that various people experience due to the cloak's existence. Baum, as it is known, is a genius when it comes to story-telling, and his non-stop inventiveness and cleverness has no doubt placed him among the pantheon of children's authors throughout history. This book is highly recommended, not only for children, but for everyone because of its sheer brilliance.
