{"product_id":"the-tales-of-beedle-the-bard-standard-edition","title":"The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Standard Edition","description":"The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers' attention in the book known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now, thanks to Hermione Granger's new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J. K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore.\n\nNever before have Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: \"The Wizard and the Hopping Pot,\" \"The Fountain of Fair Fortune,\" \"The Warlock’s Hairy Heart,\" \"Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump,\" and of course \"The Tale of the Three Brothers.\" But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we now know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter.\n\nThis purchase also represents another very important form of giving: From every sale of this book, Scholastic will give its net proceeds to Lumos, an international children’s charity founded in 2005 by J. K. Rowling. Lumos is dedicated to ending the institutionalization of children, a harmful practice that affects the lives of up to eight million disadvantaged children around the world who live in institutions and orphanages, many placed there as a result of poverty, disability, disease, discrimination and conflict; very few are orphans. Lumos works to reunite children with their families, promote family-based care alternatives, and help authorities to reform their systems and close down institutions and orphanages. www.wearelumos.org\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0545128285\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0545128285.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:J.
