I really love this book, but the advertising is miss leading. You only get the small book and velvet bag. While this is a fantastic deal. I just wanted to set the record straight. This listing is awesome and it is a deal. Love this book. Hats off to seller for the offer. Thank you so much.

I really enjoyed this book. I think my favorite tale is The Fountain of Good Fortune (I think that is what it is called--something like that). If you are planning to give this to a child, you may want to consider the age and sensitivity of the child. These tales are very much like the original Grimm fairy tales. They can be very dark and violent. They have excellent morals, but I have to admit that even I was shocked by the Tale of the Hairy Heart.

This is an extremely well written child's fairytale book! I love he quality of the book it's self, great page-feel, sturdy hard back, and amazing writing. These tales are great for bed time reading or for a collection from the Harry Potter franchise. Love!

I love Harry Potter and love this book. The only thing I would have changed and would have liked is the option to buy the book to look like it did in the movie because it would mean so much more to us potterheads! So that was very disappointing because when I ordered it the picture showed it to be like the one from the movie and that’s not what I got so for that I am so disappointed in it! I am still happy though to have the stories though.

My 11 year old son couldn't wait to get his hand on this book. The moment I handed it to him he started reading it. If you have Harry Potter fans in the house either by movies or books this is a great addition. My son hasn't even finished reading the first Harry Potter book, but has gotten half way through this in the first night. Great addition to our collection.

This thing is SOOOO cool! Its really authentic looking and fun addition to any Potterhead's collection.
It includes a beautiful outer "box" that is a mock leather bound edition, and inside a book of The Tale of Beedle the Bard which is encased in a velvet back for protection. The illustrated prints are incredible. A great purchase!

I was hesitant about buying or even reading another "Harry potter book" because of the mixed reviews friends and other sources had. But after reading this one J.K Rowling has resparked my interest to read AGAIN! Her play on words and the way she makes a "simple" childs book appeal to adults( I've been reading Harry potter since 7th grade and I'm 30 now) continues to amaze ME! I'll have to reread like the others to continue to get a clearer understanding just like all of the others I've read over twice a piece. I'm also elated that the money goes to a charity much like Harry's situation. Please buy and read! 👍👍💖💖

There is a certain sort of magic that ties all the fairy tales together in style and presentation... I cannot say exactly what it is, but JKR does an Excellent job of conjuring it in these stories... To take on such a task from scratch, and to accomplish the subtleties of mood and tone necessary to pull it off is just another instance of her Exceedingly Excellent writing skill... While they are interesting in relation to the Harry Potter books, they stand well on their own and could just as easily be placed on a shelf next to the original fairy tale classics, presented on their own... new, and timeless folk tales in an ancient tradition!

Another amazing book by my favourite author!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 29, 2020Verified Purchase
I realy liked this book as it was mentioned in the Deathly Hallows by Hermione and I was really interested by it.When I saw you could buy it additionally with four other storise as well as footnotes from Dumbledore... I BOUGHT IT!.y fabourite personally was The Fountain Of Fair Fortune was easily my personal favourite as they all get what they want without the fountain- My least favourite has to be The Warlock And His Hairy Heart as it was seriously gross.Not anything to do with the way it was written.Ultimately I recommend you buy this book.

PERFECT
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 8, 2017Verified Purchase
I've been HUGE Potterhead for the past three years and this books was the perfect touch to my collection. It has five stories with additional notes from Albus Dumbledore himself (the Hogwarts headmaster). It also includes the "Tale Of The Three Brothers" which is mentioned and read in the deathly hallows by Hermione Granger. The book is really pretty and not very big. Also arrived quickly and in excellent quality.

“No man or woman alive, magical or not, has ever escaped some form of injury, whether physical, mental or emotional. To hurt is as human as to breathe.”
The first time I heard of The Tales of Beedle the Bard was - of course - in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. And I laughed out loud, crying and giggling for minutes when I first heard of Babbity Rabbity and Her Cackling Stump.
My favourite tale is The Fountain of Fair Fortune. It just warms my heart every single time I read it. It's quite the opposite of The Warlock's Hairy Heart, but in a way, I still love the utter disgust and shock it produces.
Dumbledore's notes are pretty spectacular as well. I love how he shamelessly tells Lucius Malfoy off in his letter about banning a tale from the Hogwarts Library. And by Merlin's Beard is Aberforth so fascinated by goats? It's always going to remain a mystery to me.
This is an amazing, original collection of wondrous and beautiful, cruel and magical tales. If someone can create fairytales that feel like they could be in Grimm's collection, then it's definitely J. K. Rowling. I never thought it possible that someone could write a fairytale, that feels as old and as magical as the ones I grew up with. But I also never thought that a writer could have such an impact on my life.

Short and Entertaining
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 16, 2017Verified Purchase
I ordered The Tales of Beedle the Bard as love the Harry Potter books and films, these little short stories are good to read when you have little time but want something light and entertaining while waiting for an appointment. The only complaint is that i wish there had been more of them! Great for Hogwards loving teens and adults who want a light read.

A brilliant little book

A short and very entertaining book. I read it within a few hours of receiving it and chuckled all the way through. It was interesting to read the stories that the characters in the Harry Potter books referred to. I would recommend it to anyone.
