Celebrate 20 years of Harry Potter magic! 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: \047The Tale of the Three Brothers\047 Harry Potter fans will know from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; \047The Fountain of Fair Fortune\047, \047The Warlock\047s Hairy Heart\047, \047The Wizard and the Hopping Pot\047 and \047Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump\047 complete the collection. These narrative gems are accompanied by explanatory notes by Professor Albus Dumbledore (included by kind permission of the Hogwarts Headmaster\047s 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 brand new edition of these much loved fairy tales from the wizarding world pairs J.K. Rowling\047s original text with gorgeous jacket art by Jonny Duddle and line illustrations throughout by Tomislav Tomic.
