 2009-01-07 - Good follow-up for Potter fans
For those who are saddened by the end of the Harry Potter saga, "The Tales of Beetle the Bard" is a refreshing visit back to the wizarding world. Whilst children can enjoy the tales, adults will find it relaxing reading, too. A collection of short stories, so even those short on time can find a moment to enter the world of magic. For Harry Potter fans, highly recommended. And who knew JK Rowling was such a good artist?
2009-01-07 - Fantastic Collection of Fictional Fairy Tales
It was pretty ingenious of J.K. Rowling to write a collection of stories which appear in the last Harry Potter book. It was a delight reading some more HP-related stories. After the last book, I was left with a sort of void, asking myself, "What will I read next?" 'The Tales of the Beedle the Bard' is written with such authenticity, it's almost believable that these stories have actually been passed down for generations as genuine fairy tales, much like the stories told by Brothers Grimm and such.
A quick, light read, yet completely enjoyable. Along with afterwords by Albus Dumbledore, they're stories which will both entertain and educate.
 2009-01-06 - Not up to par
I love the Harry Potter series. I thought this book was cute and added a little something to the HP story but i was mostly disappointed. Stories were fairly short and the footnotes on everything was overdone. Took me as long to read as a good comic book.
2009-01-06 - great book for those who love Harry Potter
my son loved all the Harry Potter books and he enjoyed this one as well
2009-01-06 - Cute Book
I thought it was very well done, and it was really cute to read. I love
Harry Potter anyway, so I was glad to get it, and that it helps a good cause is also great. The illustrations were done very well, and it was an easy book to read so any child would be able to grasp the meaning of the story.
