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.
