The Ickabog

Description

Prepare for a legendary adventure.

A brand-new illustrated edition of this modern classic fairytale from the author
of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling.
Once upon a time there was a tiny kingdom called Cornucopia, as rich in happiness as it
was in gold, and famous for its food. From the delicate cream cheeses of Kurdsburg to the
Hopes-of-Heaven pastries of Chouxville, each was so delicious that people wept with joy
as they ate them.

But even in this happy kingdom, a monster lurks. Legend tells of a fearsome creature
living far to the north in the Marshlands… the Ickabog. Some say it breathes fire, spits
poison, and roars through the mist as it carries off wayward sheep and children alike.
Some say it’s just a myth…

And when that myth takes on a life of its own, casting a shadow over the kingdom, two
children – best friends Bert and Daisy – embark on a great adventure to untangle the truth
and find out where the real monster lies, bringing hope and happiness to Cornucopia once
more.
