The Tales of Beedle the Bard have been favourite bedtime reading in
wizarding households for centuries. Full of magic and trickery,
these classic tales both entertain and instruct, and remain as
captivating to young wizards today as they were when Beedle first
put quill to parchment in the fifteenth century. There are five
tales in all: 'The Tale of the Three Brothers' Harry Potter fans
will know from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; 'The Fountain
of Fair Fortune', 'The Warlock's Hairy Heart', 'The Wizard and the
Hopping Pot' and 'Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump'
complete the collection. These narrative gems are accompanied by
explanatory notes by Professor Albus Dumbledore (included by kind
permission of the Hogwarts Headmaster's archive). His illuminating
thoughts reveal the stories to be much more than just simple moral
tales, and are sure to make Babbitty Rabbitty and the slug-belching
Hopping Pot as familiar to Muggles as Snow White and Cinderella.
This edition of these much loved fairy tales from the wizarding
world pairs J.K. Rowling's original text with gorgeous jacket art
by Jonny Duddle and line illustrations throughout by Tomislav
Tomic. The Tales of Beedle the Bard is published in aid of the
Lumos (link to wearelumos.org), an international children's charity
(registered charity number 1112575) founded in 2005 by J.K Rowling.
Lumos is dedicated ending the institutionalisation of children, a
harmful practice that affects the lives of up to eight million
disadvantaged children around the world who live in institutions
and orphanages, many placed there as a result of poverty,
disability, disease, discrimination and conflict; very few are
orphans. Lumos works to reunite children with their families,
promote family-based care alternatives and help authorities to
reform their systems and close down institutions and orphanages.
In Camp Out Quest, the second book in this fun, magical illustrated
chapter book series from Sam Hay, author of Spy Penguins, a young
girl goes camping with her family and enlists the help of friends
and fairytale princesses in a quest to get her stepmother to fall
in love with the stray puppy she wants to keep. The Agents of
H.E.A.R.T are at it again! Now that she's gotten her happily ever
after helping out in her family's cafe, Evie has one last wish--to
keep Fudge, the adorable stray puppy she found. Fudge is extra
cute... and extra wiggly... and may have made a mess of the house.
But Evie has a plan. Nothing says family and bonding like camping
in the great outdoors. And with her friends coming too, Operation
Love Fudge will be a piece of cake--or a delicious gooey s'more!
Maybe, she'll bring the magical storybook just in case. In the
second book in this fantastically funny series by Spy Penguins
author, Sam Hay, Evie and her friends return for a chaotic romp
through the forest featuring an easily excitable pup, a fiasco of
fairytale princesses, and the power of teamwork.
Everything was falling in place, and I should have been excited because it meant I was one step closer to finding the weapon that would help me defeat the Nightlings. But it also meant my death loomed over me. Fallon Bane has never been a normal girl. From the moment she was born into the House of Ash and Shadow to being cursed to feel pain whenever she was touched to falling in love with a royal heir of the House of Light and Ether, nothing has seemed to go to plan. So when she runs away after finding out she's starting to give in to her dark magic, she shouldn't be surprised that it goes wrong. But when it does, and her friends save her from her Nightling mother, she returns to the Gilded City not just cursed but also the chosen one of a prophecy―she will save the fae from the Nightling War. And she will give her life to do so. Fallon wants to be the hero everyone believes she can be, but she wants to live even more.
