The Ickabog - J.K. Rowling

GBB's opinion:
The Ickabogis a children's novel in the form of a fairy tale, which speaks as much to children as it does to the child within us all. It transports us to the kingdom of Cornucopia, with almost caricatural characters and adventures that blend humor and fantasy.
ButThe Ickabogis also an intelligent and profound political fable: it denounces the abuse of power, fear, and corruption generated by an
authoritarian, even almost totalitarian, regime. This tale invites us to reflect, to question, and celebrates critical thinking and the ability to think for oneself.

A perfect book for those who love funny,
inventive, and meaningful stories, accessible to all ages.

Note: This edition includes at the end of the book the illustrations of the
French-speaking winners of a competition organized by J.K. Rowling,
each drawing corresponding to a chapter, adding a participative
and creative dimension to the reading.
