A spectacular full-colour illustrated edition of J.K. Rowling’s fairytale classic The Tales of Beedle the Bard, with breathtaking illustrations by all-round genius and national treasure Chris Riddell.
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.
Former Waterstones
Children’s Laureate Chris Riddell is the only illustrator to have won
the Kate Greenaway Medal three times, and is brought together here for
the first time with one of the world’s best loved storytellers in this
new edition of J.K. Rowling’s fairytale classic.
Much loved by
generations of witches and wizards since they first appeared in the
fifteenth century, this beautifully illustrated edition is set to become
a firm favourite at bedtime in non-magical households the world over.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard is published in aid of Lumos, an international children’s charity founded in 2005 by J.K. Rowling.

It looks so pretty! I’ve read the not-illustrated version of this book. Someday I’ll be financially stable enough to afford new copies of my favorite books. Great review!
