Queen Zixi of Ix, or The Story of the Magic Cloak (1905) is one of L. Frank Baum's finest non-Oz fantasy novels, blending whimsy, adventure, and moral lessons. The story follows King Bud and Princess Fluff, young rulers of Noland, who come into possession of a magic cloak that grants one wish to whoever wears it.

Meanwhile, the cunning and beautiful Queen Zixi of Ix, eager for the cloak's power, weaves a plot to obtain it. Filled with Baum's signature humor, imaginative world-building, and delightful characters, this rare first edition is a must-have for collectors of early fantasy literature. Its vivid illustrations and elegant binding make it a highly desirable and historically significant addition to any collection.
