Which J.K. Rowling novel features the magical creature known as the Ickabog?

J.K. Rowling’s novel featuring the magical creature called the Ickabog is The Ickabog.

The Ickabog is a children’s fantasy novel published in 2020. It is set in the fictional kingdom of Cornucopia, a prosperous land whose rulers and officials face a frightening legend about a monster living in the marshes.

Rowling originally wrote the story for her own children and later published it as a free online serial during the COVID-19 pandemic. The printed edition includes illustrations selected through a children’s illustration competition.

The creature’s name gives the book its title, while the story explores fear, propaganda, political abuse, and the importance of truth. It is a standalone fairy tale rather than a continuation of the Harry Potter storyline.
