The Ickabog Plot 

The Ickabog is a fairy tale whose story was published online in instalments by J.K Rowling and finally, the book got published on November 10, 2020. The book is mainly for children between seven to nine years. It is described by the author as a political fairytale aimed for younger children. Though it is nowhere related to the author’s past work, it is similar to the fact that both the author's previous series and this book are based in a mythical world. The Ickabog story is based in a mythical land, Cornucopia, ruled by King Fred. The story contains a monster named The Ickabog which is said to inhabit the marshes in the North and scare children while the southern part is more of a prosperous area. The story involves several characters such as Lord Spittleworth, Captain Roach, Lord Flapoon, The Dovetails, The Beamishes, Gordon Goodfellow, Roderick Roach, Martha, Ma Grunter, Hetty, Private Prodd, Basher John, Cankerby the Footman, Otto Scrumble and a few others.
