《伊卡狛格》创作于十几年前，是罗琳写给自己两个孩子听的故事。由于优选疫情的，许多孩子和父母只能待在家中，备受煎熬。因此，罗琳将《伊卡狛格》的手稿从她的阁楼上取了下来，修改后决定出版！在纸书出版前，故事先在网上进行了免费连载。罗琳从《伊卡狛格》获得的全部收入，都将捐给维兰特公益基金，来帮助全世界受到疫情影响的人们。从前，有一个叫做丰饶角的小国家，那里的人们生活地富足而幸福。丰饶角的美食声名远播，从美酪城的奶油干酪到甘蓝城的“天堂的希望”，每一种都足以让食客在品尝时冒出喜悦的泪花。不过，即使是在如此幸福的国度里，也有怪物暗藏。传说在沼泽乡的很北边，住着一头可怕的怪物——伊卡狛格。有人说它会喷火，会吐毒液，还会在浓雾中咆哮着拖走不听话的绵羊和小孩。也有人说，伊卡狛格不过是传说罢了……后来这个传说发展得越发不受控制，为整个国度都蒙上了一层阴霾，这时，两个小孩——一对很要好的朋友，伯特和黛西——开始......

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 hardback edition, perfect for sharing and gift-giving. Brought to life with full-colour illustrations by the young winners of The Ickabog competition.
