An essential companion to the Harry Potter books, The Tales of
Beedle the Bard is a collection of fairytales from the wizarding
world, via the enchanted pen of J.K. Rowling. Rich with allusions
and symbols from the Harry Potter stories, and enhanced with
fascinating commentary from beloved sage Professor Albus
Dumbledore, this is a Hogwarts Library book to treasure and enjoy
for years to come. All of the gorgeous, grim and gothic detail of
the Bard's five bewitching tales has been brought to life by Chris
Riddell, thrice winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal. Much loved by
generations of witches and wizards, and translated from the
original runes by Hermione Granger, this beautiful edition is the
perfect gift for Harry Potter fans. Mischievous and witty, Beedle
the Bard's stories are a deeply satisfying read in the tradition of
all great fables and fairytales. Kindnesses are rewarded and
selfishness shown to be the ruin of many a wizard. Burping
cauldrons, hairy hearts and cackling stumps are met along the way.
Each tale is brought vividly to life with Riddell's trademark wry
humour and elegance, including 'The Tale of the Three Brothers',
familiar to readers of Harry Potter from the crucial role it plays
in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now available in a
paperback format featuring a brand new cover by Chris Riddell, this
edition contains all of the mesmerising illustrations from the
original hardback plus an exclusive additional art print of Harry,
Ron and Hermione for readers to take out and keep. Prepare to be
spellbound! The Tales of Beedle the Bard is published in aid of
Lumos, an international children's charity founded in 2005 by J.K.
Rowling.
