Stand-alone books by J.K. Rowling
- The Ickabog – Children book. The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. Everything was perfect – except for the misty Marshlands to the north which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. 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?
- The Casual Vacancy – When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the 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. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity, and unexpected revelations?
