The Ickabog

The Ickabog is coming... A mythical monster, a kingdom in peril, an adventure
that will test two children's bravery to the limit. Discover a brilliantly
original fairy tale about the power of hope and friendship to triumph against
all odds, from one of the world's best storytellers.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of
gold, a king with the finest moustaches you could possibly imagine, and
butchers, bakers and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance
with delight when they ate them.

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north which,
according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew
that the Ickabog was just a myth, to scare children into behaving. But the
funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Could a myth unseat a beloved king? Could a myth bring a once happy country to
its knees? Could a myth thrust two children into an adventure they didn't ask
for and never expected?

If you're feeling brave, step into the pages of this book to find out...

A beautiful digital edition, brought to life with full-colour illustrations by
