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

303 pp. Green cloth, red titles over dark green and red illustrations (except on rear board, which is dark green only). Baum believed this was his most well-written book, "nearer to the 'old-fashioned' fairy tale than anything I have yet accomplished." Inspiration for the film The Magic Cloak of Oz. Color plates and dichromatic (black and one accent color) illustrations in text by Frederick Richardson.
