The Tales of Beedle the Bard
I picked up the new J. K. Rowling book, “The Tales of
Beedle the Bard” last night while grabbing a couple
things from Kroger. It was already 40% off, plus I
used my Kroger card to get additional savings, it
cost around $5.
For those of you not up on Harry Potter, one of the stories from this book was mentioned in the final Harry Potter book. This book is short, around 120 pages, and can be read in about 1 hour. It contains 5 stories, and commentary on each story by Dumbledore. I would liken this to something like Grimms Fairy Tales. Each of the stories are very short, and convey a message. The commentary by Dumbledore is the interesting part. If you’re a fan of Harry Potter, it’s a good quick read if you can find it cheap.
