J.K. Rowling: The Ickabog

'The Ickabog' is a new (or perhaps not so new) short story by J.K. Rowling.

According to the dedicated website, J.K. Rowling had the idea for 'The Ickabog' a long time ago and read it to her two younger children, chapter by chapter, each night while she was working on it. However, when the time came to publish it, Joanne decided to put out a book for adults instead, which is how 'The Ickabog' ended up in the attic. Joanne became busy with other things, and even though she loved the story, but over the years she came to think of it as something that was just for her own children.

Then this lockdown happened. It’s been very hard on children, in particular, so J.K. rowling brought 'The Ickabog' down from the attic, read it for the first time in years, rewrote bits of it and then read it to her children again. They told her to put back in some bits they’d liked when they were little, and here we are!

The Ickabog is published on this website. It isn’t Harry Potter and it doesn’t include magic. This is an entirely different story.

Meanwhile, utter madness has gotten hold of the staff of Hachette, the publishing house that was working on 'The Ickabog'. Why, you might ask with some trepidation? Because these people refuse to carefully read what is written here by J.K. Rowling and only believe what they think is written. The think they are 'woke', but in reality, they are deluded.
