My parents got this book for me for Christmas. It's only available from Amazon.com, but they've sold out. It's disguised to look like a School Book from Hogwarts, as you can see. *Hat not included - it came from my Halloween costume.
When you open the book, you find that hidden inside is a small red velvet bag that contains the actual book. Also, in a pocket inside the front cover, there is a light orange envelope that contains large prints of all the artwork in the book.
As you can see, it has a hard leather cover that is decorated with fancy silver corners, a blue-eyed skull in the center, and a fancy clasp on the edge. There's also a green ribbon to use as a bookmark, as you can see in this picture:
The inside of the book has cool writing, and it has several nice illustrations. I think that J.K. Rowling illustrated it herself.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a collection of short stories that take place in the Wizarding world of Harry Potter. On page 5, it says that the book was translated from the original runes by Hermione Granger, and that Commentary is by Albus Dumbledore. Some of my favorite stories are The Fountain of Fair Fortune, and Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump.
If you're interested in the story, you can pick up a paperback version at your local book store, or at Amazon. If you want the fancy one like I've got, you'll have to wait until more are made. Since it is so special, I think I'm going to keep this book in my family forever.
I'd recommend this book to any fan of the Harry Potter series.
