The Fairy Queen This story is about a magic cloak woven by fairies from the Forest of Burzi* and giving each of its owners the opportunity to fulfill one wish, it will appeal to all lovers of fairy tales. You will meet the witch-queen Zixie from Country X**, the little boy Bat***, who became the king of Noland, his charming sister Pushinka, the invaders Sharopluts, Aunt Rekka, who wished to have wings and received them, and other characters. The author of the story, Lyman Frank Baum, considered it his best fairy tale. * You can learn more about the forest fairies and the Bourzi forest from Lyman Frank Baum's book “The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus” (1902). ** In Ruth Plumley Thompson's book "The Silver Princess of Oz" (1938), King Randy of Regalia, his friend the elephant Kabampo, Princess Cosmica and her horse Heat travel through the Land of X. ***King Bath of Noland and his sister Pushinka will meet us later in Baum’s book “Journey to the Land of Oz” (1909) among the guests of honor invited by Princess Ozma to her birthday (translated by Irina Parina - King No of Neverland and his sister Pushinka). Queen Zixie from Country X was also invited to this holiday. Source: Dear friends!< /p> I bring to your attention a collection of fairy tales by the wonderful American children's writer Lyman Frank Baum in Russian. All books are homemade and have never been published in this form. I wanted to convey to you the charm of old books, present them in an authentic, undistorted and unpainted form. It was precisely these fairy tales with stunning, magnificent drawings that American children read 100 years ago. For my works, I used only original illustrations from Baum's first editions of the late 19th - early 20th centuries. All drawings have been restored, inscriptions Russified, because my books are designed for Russian-speaking readers. Some of them have special wide margins on which illustrations are placed, as was done in the original Baum books. I would like to note that in addition to the classic books about the Land of Oz, other works of the writer that are less known in our country are also distributed here, such as “The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus”, “Queen Zixie from Country X”, “Sea Fairies”, “The Island in heaven" and others. There are currently 16 books being given away, 10 of which are about Oz. Unfortunately, due to family circumstances, work on the project has been suspended. Sincerely, pavel_7_8
