AUTOR: ROWLING, J. K.
EDITORIAL: Bloomsbury
“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.
