Get ready to be enchanted by the dazzling colored illustrations of Chris Riddell in this exciting new collector's edition of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard," the delightful classic fairy tale by J.K. Rowling. This beautiful, luxurious edition features a rich page size and a double-page spread with artwork, intricate embossing by Chris Riddell on the cover fabric and slipcase, an exclusive print of Albus Dumbledore, and a deluxe ribbon. It is the ultimate must-have edition for any Harry Potter fan, collector, or bookworm and is set to become a bedtime favorite in all non-magical households.

Beloved for generations by witches and wizards ever since they appeared in the fifteenth century, these five subversive and playful fairy tales are a deeply satisfying read in the tradition of all great fairy tales. Kindnesses are rewarded, and selfishness proves the downfall of many a wizard. Along the way, we encounter bubbling cauldrons, hairy hearts, and self-aggrandizing trunks. Translated from the runes by Hermione Granger, each fairy tale is accompanied by a deliciously subversive and insightful commentary by Professor Albus Dumbledore, all brought to life by the characteristic wit and elegance of Riddell.

Chris Riddell, Waterstones' former Children's Laureate, is the only illustrator to have won the Kate Greenaway Medal three times and here joins forces for the first time with one of the world's most beloved storytellers in this magical new edition. "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" is published in support of Lumos, an international children's charity founded in 2005 by J.K. Rowling.
