Queen Zixi of Ix is a children's fantasy novel written by L. Frank Baum. The story follows two children, Bud and Fluff, who are granted a wish by a fairy queen named Zixi. They wish to become king and queen of a magical kingdom, but soon realize that ruling a kingdom is not as easy as they thought. Along the way, they encounter a variety of magical creatures and obstacles, including a wicked witch and a mischievous genie. With the help of their loyal subjects and Queen Zixi herself, Bud and Fluff learn valuable lessons about leadership, responsibility, and the true meaning of happiness. The book is filled with colorful illustrations and imaginative world-building, making it a beloved classic in children's literature.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.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
