Story4 out of 5 stars 65
When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils.... Pagford is not what it at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

Publisher's Summary
The Ickabog is coming....
A mythical monster, a kingdom in peril, an adventure that will test two children’s bravery to the limit. Discover a brilliantly original fairy tale about the power of hope and friendship to triumph against all odds, from one of the world’s best storytellers.
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them.
Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.
Could a myth unseat a beloved king? Could a myth bring a once happy country to its knees? Could a myth thrust two children into an adventure they didn’t ask for and never expected?
If you’re feeling brave, immerse yourself in this audiobook to find out....
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, a PDF including full-color illustrations from the winning artists of The Ickabog Illustration Competitions run by Hachette Children’s and Scholastic will appear in your library along with the audio.

Sub par for this author is still pretty good
I wouldn’t recommend The Ickabog to all Harry Potter or Cormoran Strike fans, but it’s excellent for kids of a younger age as a bedtime story, which is what it was created for. The story doesn’t feel as tight or exciting as anything else JK Rowling has written, but it’s got a great message and helps younger children understand how greed and fear can transform a community from idyllic to apocalyptic. And Stephen Fry is fantastic. Why we can’t get his version of the Potter books on Audible Canada is the service’s single greatest failing.

Oh, dear...
I loved Harry Potter and have revisited the books and movies many times over. And I adore Stephen Fry. But I didn't like this book.
It starts as a rather heavy-handed treatise on class differences in society, showcasing how people with power can talk themselves into ignoring their feelings and thus justify being unfair, or worse, for their own comfort. It may change course further on, but right now I just can't take any more of the issues I hear about in the news every day. So many of my favorite fiction authors have turned their novels into pulpits, addressing some societal issue they feel strongly about. I find I usually agree with their position, but really wish they would continue to create fictional worlds where we all can take a break from the bleakness and cruelty of the world as it exists right now.
The worst thing here is that the story is told rather than shown, and the humor, charm, and deep characterizations that I fell in love with in the world of Potter are definitely MIA. I expect I will be in the minority with this review, but another seven hours is more than I can manage. Did not finish and returned.

No fun
Ickabog starts out promising with JK’s charming writing. THEN the body count builds and builds with never ending details of a government official’s corruption and malfeasance. It just goes on and on and on and on and on! Around chapter 40ish things FINALLY start getting hopeful and the book ends quickly after that. Maybe if the narration focused much more on the lives of the characters I ACTUALLY cared about rather than the villain, I may have enjoyed it more. Maybe if the villain was interesting at all, I would have enjoyed it more.
Most of the book focused on the villain’s acts of villainy rather than the hero’s character development. The characters who are good in the beginning of the book are still good in the end with very little growth. The characters who started out bad were still bad in the end with no depth or intrigue. I didn’t have any investment in ANY of them because they were all shallow ghosts- barely a whisper of someone I could root for or someone I could relate to. It’s a classic example of “telling rather than showing” -SUPER DUPER disappointing.

JK Rowling + Stephen Fry = 100x a listen
First off, JKR seems to understand that adults want to listen to kids story lines. And I absolutely adore her for that, as well as philanthropically and as a brilliant creative mind.
Secondly, Stephen Fry did actually read some of the Harry Potter books but audible does not have his recordings. He is the number one reader for JK Rowling, imo. There is no one better. Pay him a million dollars.

I absolutely loved this audio. We listened to it as a family and it kept not only myself, but my children engrossed. The story teller voice is also very pleasing. 10/10 would buy again.

40 chapters of despair
I love JK Rowling. This would have been a beautiful short story. It was 40 chapters of despair, murder, children dying, and people accepting the status quo until the protagonists had any response. Cut out 20 chapters of descriptive evil and the ending would have felt balanced. Not a favorite and I will not let my kids listen to it.

I enjoyed the story. The characters were well done. And Stephen Fry gave a marvelous performance.
There is some violence, but no sex or language issues that I caught.

Guliver’s Travel?
JK Rowling is a great story teller. But it seemed to be a political satire. The phrase “ I know how to destroy him. I’ll ruin his reputation” was very much the 2020 cancel culture. I’m sure the symbolism in this story will be analyzed by everyone.

Delightful Fantasy
To my surprise this delightfully witty fantasy was weaved with classic morals & lessons. Throughout the darkest chapters of this captivating tale, the reader is able to hope in truth and honor. It is a tale that should be told throughout the generations and read to children around the world. It belongs with other classic tales such as Peter Pan, Hansel & Gretel, and Little Red Riding Hood. Fun. Adventurous. Heroic.

Enjoyable
Reminds me of Roald Dahl books. I’m looking forward to more short stories like this!

Une tres bonne surprise !
Je m’attendais à un simple conte enfantin et j’ai trouvé bien plus ! Une véritable métaphore de l’autoritarisme et une belle leçon philosophique sur la morale, le devoir et la vérité.
Je recommande !

Charmant conte pour enfant
La performance et l'histoire s'accordent parfaitement pour tisser un moment délicieux. Le format sous forme de conte le rend accessible aux plus jeunes tout en donnant une expérience jouissante et nostalgique aux plus grands. J. K. Rowling sait vraiment construire des histoires même si le départ ne laisse pas présager une histoire aussi riche. L'enfant en moi en demande plus.

Un joli conte
Une belle histoire avec une belle morale, plus vraie que jamais en ce moment. Stephen Fry est toujours aussi plaisant à écouter. L'ensemble est émouvant.

très long au démarrage et sombre
Je pensais que c'était un livre adapté aux enfants?... mais c'est vraiment sombre et violent sur une très grande partie du livre.
J'ai vraiment eu du mal à rentrer dans l'histoire jusqu'aux 3/4 du livre environ. Là les choses se sont accélérées et j'ai réussi à m'accrocher au fil. Il était temps!
Par contre la lecture par Stephen Fry est, comme toujours, un bonheur.

Brilliant
I loved this book so much, I can’t wait my baby is big enough I can read it to her. Really beautiful story, with some unexpected twists and turns, and you’ll be amused no matter how old you are are.
