The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling is a collection of the folk tales told to the children of wizards and witches.
Translated from the ancient runes by Hermione Granger, the book is comprised of five tales that each include commentary by Albus Dumbledor. Each tale has a message to be learned and wisdom to pass on to the next generation.
Stories include:
The Wizard and the Hopping Pot
The Fountain of Fair Fortune
The Warlock's Hairy Heart
Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump
The Tale of the Three Brothers
Rowling has created these stories as a companion to the Harry Potter series. They are beautifully crafted and are fun to read.
