The brilliantly shining Chris Riddell brings his magical illustration skills to the gloriously imaginative "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" by J.K. Rowling in a fully illustrated color version of this essential classic for Harry Potter fans. Translated from the runes by Hermione Granger, the volume includes "The Tale of the Three Brothers," which is familiar to Harry Potter readers due to its crucial role in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." Mischievous and witty, these five lively stories provide a deeply satisfying read in the tradition of all great fables and fairy tales. Kindness is rewarded, while selfishness is depicted as the downfall of many wizards. Along the way, readers encounter burping cauldrons, hairy hearts, and giggling tree stumps. Each story is accompanied by a delightfully subversive and insightful commentary from Professor Albus Dumbledore, all vividly brought to life by Riddell's signature style.
