Story
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.

Very short audio book!
This a very short audio book that might be a decent listen for kids, specially the kids who like Albert Einstein. However, it is a bit too short to understand much about Einstein or interesting scientific discoveries or theories by Einstein.
P.S. Looks like the actual book is a picture book with illustrations for kids, meant for a fun read. So, having an actual book or kindle book along with this audio book makes sense rather than this audio book by itself.

The couple of dollars I paid were too much.
Terrible. I got it for the grandkids, but there is nothing to it. Don't bother.
