THE TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD - JK ROWLING GEBUNDEN

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 brand new 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.
