THE TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD: A MAGICAL COMPANION TO THE HARRY POTTER STORIES (ILLUSTRATED EDITION)

Description

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.
