false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1238378610m/6368699.jpg 3950967 33 The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers' attention in the book known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now, thanks to Hermione Granger's new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J. K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore. Never before have Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot," "The Fountain of Fair Fortune," "The Warlock's Hairy Heart," "Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump," and of course, "The Tale of the Three Brothers." But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we now know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter. 3007490 book 2007 The Tales of Beedle the Bard total:17710|5:4022|4:5502|3:5862|2:1944|1:380| 17710 63972 25809 3124 4020390 0545128285 9780545128285 3058 841 3.61 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255628345m/4020390.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4020390.The_Tales_of_Beedle_the_Bard 0 42 false Fri Sep 19 08:14:02 -0700 2008 Wed Feb 25 02:33:06 -0800 2009
