The Tales of Beedle the Bard

Five wizarding fairy tales make up this slim collection, presented with commentary attributed to Albus Dumbledore. The stories sit in the same relationship to the wizarding world as folk tales do to ours, and one of them, concerning three brothers, connects directly to the final Harry Potter novel. Notes follow each tale in Dumbledore's voice, which gives the collection a second layer for readers who already know the series well. Bloomsbury Childrens Books issues it as a 128-page paperback that can comfortably be read aloud in short sittings. At a glance: • Five short tales presented as wizarding folklore • Commentary after each story written in Dumbledore's voice • Includes the tale of three brothers referenced in the novels • 128 pages, short enough for reading aloud in instalments Families reading together and Harry Potter collectors will find this Bloomsbury Childrens Books edition at Boipoka.
