JK Rowling has announced she is publishing a stand-alone fairy tale called The Ickabog and will make it available for free online for children in lockdown or back at school.
The Harry Potter author said she wrote the story 10 years ago but put it away in a box in the attic as she published her novels for adults.
Rowling said she has now retrieved it and done some re-writing and will be publishing a chapter online every weekday.
