Book Overview: The Ickabog

From J.K. Rowling, a warm, fast-paced, funny fairy tale of a fearsome monster, thrilling adventure, and hope against all odds.

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.

Featuring full color illustrations by children from across the United States and Canada, this original fairy tale from one of the world’s most celebrated storytellers will captivate readers of all ages.

About the Author

J. K. Rowling

J. K. Rowling is a renowned British author primarily known for her immensely popular “Harry Potter” series. Born Joanne Rowling on July 31, 1965, in Yate, England, her passion for storytelling started at a young age. After studying French and Classics at the University of Exeter, she worked in various roles, including spending time with Amnesty International in London. The concept of “Harry Potter” first came to her during a delayed train journey in 1990. After facing various personal challenges and rejections from publishers, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” was published in 1997. The series, comprising seven books, has since been translated into multiple languages and has prompted movies, spin-offs, and a dedicated fan base globally. In addition to the “Harry Potter” series, Rowling has also written adult fiction such as “The Casual Vacancy” and the “Cormoran Strike” series under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. Rowling’s works, which have earned her numerous accolades, have also led to her significant philanthropic activities.
