Summary: The dazzlingly brilliant Chris Riddell brings his magical illustration talents to J.K. Rowling's gloriously inventive The Tales of Beedle the Bard in a fully illustrated colour edition of this essential classic for Harry Potter fans. Translated from the runes by Hermione Granger, the volume includes `The Tale of the Three Brothers', familiar to readers of Harry Potter from the crucial role it played in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Mischievous and witty, these five rollicking tales are a deeply satisfying read in the tradition of all great fables and fairytales. Kindnesses are rewarded and selfishness shown to be the ruin of many a wizard. Burping cauldrons, hairy hearts and cackling stumps are met along the way. Each of the tales is accompanied by a deliciously subversive and insightful commentary by Professor Albus Dumbledore, all brought vividly to life with Riddell's trademark wit and elegance.
Item Description: Summary: A bubbling brew of michief and magic, with lashings of humour. This essential companion to the Harry Potter series contains five bewitching tales, each accompanied by witty and wise commentary from Professor Albus Dumbledore, all illustrated in glorious colour by multi-talented Muggle and three times winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal Chris Riddell. Much loved by generations of witches and wizards since Beedle first put quill to parchment in the fifteenth century - and perfect for Harry Potter fans and Muggles of all ages. (from back cover).
