Summary

The renowned author of the wonderful Oz stories surpasses himself with a full-blown fairy tale, complete with magic wishes, palace life, an evil hag, and a poor boy and girl. "In some ways," Baum confided to his son, "Queen Zixi is my best effort." Critic Edward Wagenknecht goes further, terming it flatly one of the best fairy tales ever written by anyone. Adding to the delight of this classic are the original illustrations by Frederick Richardson.

Author Biography

Best known as the author of the Wizard of Oz stories, L. Frank Baum (1856–1919) wrote many other fantasy novels, in addition to poems, short stories, and scripts for stage and screen.
