"The Ickabog is a story about truth and the abuse of power," said Rowling "The themes are timeless and could apply to any era or any country."
"To forestall one obvious question: the idea came to me well over a decade ago, so it isn’t intended to be read as a response to anything that’s happening in the world right now," she said.
The first chapters of the fairy tale were published on Tuesday.
Further chapters will be published every weekday until July 10,
