Queen Zixi Of Ix [Paperback]

L. Frank Baum (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 17, 2004 | Age Level: 7 and up | Grade Level: 2 and up

The fairies assembled one moonlit night in a pretty clearing of the ancient forest of Burzee. The clearing was in the form of a circle, and all around stood giant oak and fir trees, while in the center the grass grew green and soft as velvet. If any mortal had ever penetrated so far into the great forest and could have looked upon the fairy circle by daylight, he might perhaps have seen a tiny path worn in the grass by the feet of the dancing elves.

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL!, April 19, 1999

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)!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Magic Cloak still envokes childhood memories, November 22, 2000

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baum and his incredible, magical prose, January 8, 1998

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.
