L'ICKABOG

Once upon a time, the kingdom of Cornucopia was the happiest in the world. There was plenty of gold, a king with the most beautiful mustache imaginable, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose delicacies brought tears of joy to the people. Everything was perfect: except for the Misty Marshes of the North, where the terrible Ickabog was said to live. Every sensible person knew that the Ickabog was just a legend invented to scare children and make them behave. But legends are strange and sometimes take on a life of their own. Can a legend overthrow a much-loved king? Can a legend bring a once-happy nation to its knees? Can a legend involve two brave children in a surprising and unexpected adventure? Discover this tale about the power of hope and friendship and their triumph over all adversities. A story enriched by the color illustrations of the young winners of the Ickabog Illustration Tournament. Reading age: from 6 years.
