Intriguing reading abounds on the Juvenile Fiction shelve for young and old. J.K.Rowling of Harry Potter fame, has created another interesting book, The Ickabog, featuring King Fred the Fearless and his two cunning and deceptive advisors, Lord Spiltleworh and Lord Flapoon and, of course, the mysterious Ickabog. This monster is described “as tall as two horses, eyes glowing balls of fire and long razor-sharp claws.” King Fred turns out not to be fearless and the story reveals the truth about the Ickabog.
