<p><b>The Ickabog is coming... A mythical monster, a kingdom in peril, an adventure that will test two children&apos;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&apos;s best storytellers.</b><br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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&apos;t ask for and never expected?<br /><br />If you&apos;re feeling brave, step into the pages of this book to find out...<br /><br /><b>A beautiful digital edition, brought to life with full-colour illustrations by the young winners of <i>The Ickabog</i> competition.</b></p>
