'You've never heard of The Tales of Beedle the Bard?' said Ron incredulously. 'You're kidding, right?' (From Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows)
Bloomsbury, in association with the Children's High Level Group, is
delighted to announce The Tales of Beedle the Bard, the first
new book from J. K. Rowling since the publication of Harry Potter
and the Deathly Hallows. The Tales of Beedle the Bard
played a crucial role in assisting Harry, aided by his friends Ron and
Hermione, to finally defeat Lord Voldemort. Fans will be thrilled to
have this opportunity to read the tales in full. The tales are an
exciting addition to the canon of Harry Potter and reveal the
wonderful versatility of the author, as she tackles with relish the
structure and varying tones of a classic fairy tale. There are five
tales: 'The Tale of the Three Brothers', which is recounted in
Deathly Hallows, plus 'The Fountain of Fair Fortune', 'The
Warlock's Hairy Heart', 'The Wizard and the Hopping Pot', and 'Babbitty
Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump'. Each has its own magical character
and will bring delight, laughter and the thrill of mortal peril.
Translated from the original runes by Hermione Granger, the tales are
introduced and illustrated by J. K. Rowling. Also included are notes
by Professor Albus Dumbledore, which appear by generous permission of
the Hogwarts Headmasters' Archive.
