Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,747
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.

Fun Facts, Inventions, and Discoveries
This is a diverse collection of incredible inventions. Many of these inventions discussed in this book were created by accident. Sometimes, the most remarkable inventions come from an unexplained error. It's incredible how some of these products accidentally become incredibly high in demand. A good example of one of these inventions is the microwave oven. It was initially discovered by accident. It started when the inventor inadvertently melted a candy bar in his pocket. He then used the original device to pop popcorn. This is a fun book about fun discoveries without being too complicated.
