A magic cloak that grants one wish to whoever first wears it passes from hand to hand through the kingdoms of Noland and Ix, sought by the six-hundred-year-old witch-queen Zixi.

L. Frank Baum's 1905 novel, by the creator of Oz, is a beloved standalone fairy tale of wishes, kings, and magic. Warm, inventive, delightful children's fantasy. Read it for one of Baum's finest non-Oz fantasies, a charming saga of an enchanted cloak and the vain sorceress who covets it.
