The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling J ROW—These tales are absolutely delightful. Short and quick, Beedle the Bard is a perfect introduction to fairy tales from the world of witches and wizards. Rowling does an introduction that explains the tales a bit including letting muggle children know that in these tales, magic is not strange and wonderful as it is in their tales, but is instead standard fare. This would be a great book for those not yet old enough to delve into the world of Harry Potter, but who still want to read something similar to it.
