Akkora, mint két ló. A szeme tűzgolyó. A karmai borotvaélesek. Vigyázz, mert jön az Ickabog... Duskáldia egykor a világ legboldogabb országa volt. Bővelkedett aranyban, egy pompázatos bajszú király uralkodott rajta, és olyan fenséges kolbászok, sajtok és sütemények készültek városaiban, hogy aki csak megkóstolta őket, táncra perdült örömében! Birodalomszerte minden szép és jó volt, kivéve a ködös északi részt, Lápföldét, ahol egy régi rege szerint a szörnyűséges Ickabog tanyázott. Minden épeszű ember tudta, hogy az Ickabog csak legenda, rossz gyerekek ijesztgetésére való. De a legendáknak megvan az a furcsa tulajdonságuk, hogy néha önálló életre kelnek... Vajon egy mendemonda megbuktathatja a közkedvelt királyt, és térdre kényszerítheti az országát? Annyi biztos, hogy két bátor gyerek olyan kalandba sodródik miatta, amire maguktól sose vállalkoztak volna. A világ egyik legkiválóbb elbeszélőjének sajátos hangulatú meséjét a szereplők színes tárháza és a fantáziadús cselekmény teszi minden korosztály számára feledhetetlen olvasmánnyá. J.K. Rowling a könyv eladásából származó teljes bevételét felajánlja olyan szervezeteknek, amelyek célja, hogy segítsenek azokon, akik különösen megszenvedték a koronavírus-járványt.
