Queen Zixi of Ix; Or, the Story of the Magic Cloak

by L. Frank (Lyman Frank) Baum

"Queen Zixi of Ix; Or, the Story of the Magic Cloak" by L. Frank Baum is a children's book published in 1905. When fairies create a magical cloak that grants one wish to its wearer, they send it to the kingdom of Noland, where it falls into the hands of a young girl whose brother has just become king. But the ancient witch-queen Zixi of Ix desires the cloak for her own purposes and will stop at nothing to possess it—even if it means disguise, deception, and war.
