5 out of 5 stars Christmas for Great-Granddaughter   January 8, 2009
My great-granddaughter loves books, and she was all smiles on Christmas morning upon unwrapping
"The Tales of Beedle the Bard." I even got a hug and a kiss for it!




5 out of 5 stars great book by a great author   January 8, 2009
Loved these stories, J.K Rowling is a great author, I admire her. If you liked this book you will also enjoy the Sara chronicles Book One-


5 out of 5 stars Good follow-up for Potter fans   January 7, 2009
For those who are saddened by the end of the Harry Potter saga, "The Tales of Beetle the Bard" is a refreshing visit back to the wizarding world. Whilst children can enjoy the tales, adults will find it relaxing reading, too. A collection of short stories, so even those short on time can find a moment to enter the world of magic. For Harry Potter fans, highly recommended. And who knew JK Rowling was such a good artist?


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Collection of Fictional Fairy Tales   January 7, 2009
It was pretty ingenious of J.K. Rowling to write a collection of stories which appear in the last Harry Potter book. It was a delight reading some more HP-related stories. After the last book, I was left with a sort of void, asking myself, "What will I read next?" 'The Tales of the Beedle the Bard' is written with such authenticity, it's almost believable that these stories have actually been passed down for generations as genuine fairy tales, much like the stories told by Brothers Grimm and such.

A quick, light read, yet completely enjoyable. Along with afterwords by Albus Dumbledore, they're stories which will both entertain and educate.



2 out of 5 stars Not up to par   January 6, 2009
I love the Harry Potter series. I thought this book was cute and added a little something to the HP story but i was mostly disappointed. Stories were fairly short and the footnotes on everything was overdone. Took me as long to read as a good comic book.
