collector’s editionJK Rowl­ing will pub­lish her story of “wiz­ard­ing fairy tales” with plans to donate all monies to the Children’s Voice cam­paign. The Tales of the Bee­tle Bard was sup­pos­edly men­tioned in Harry Pot­ter and the Deathly Hol­lows. It was a book given to Hermione from Dum­b­le­dore. I know I got hit with an email early this morn­ing from Ama​zon​.com ask­ing me to pre-order this book. I think I will just to com­plete my col­lec­tion of her work.

standard editionAma­zon plans pro­duce 100 copies with the inten­tion to dupli­cate the orig­i­nal look and feel of the book Ama­zon bought from her at auc­tion for col­lec­tors that will go for $100 (recoup some of that money back) and the 157 page book will also have addi­tional illus­tra­tions from the author. The stan­dard edi­tion will retail for $12.99 (see pic). Here are addi­tional reviews and pics of the orig­i­nal book that Rowl­ing auc­tioned at Sotheby’s. The reviews to the five sto­ries you will have tap to read as they warn of spoil­ers. The five sto­ries are: The Wiz­ard and the Hop­ping Pot, The Foun­tain of Fair For­tune, The Warlock’s Hairy Heart, Bab­bitty, Rab­bitty and her Cack­ling Stump and The Tale of the Three Broth­ers. Listed pub­lisher is the Children’s High Level Group and both books are in hard­cover with a release date set for Dec 4, 2008. You can pre­order The Tales of Bee­dle the Bard, Stan­dard Edi­tionEdited to add that both pics are*UK edition(s) of the book.

For peo­ple who read so much, some of you are ter­ri­ble spellers and have awful gram­mat­i­cal issues.

But yeah, JK is pretty much the best out there. She inspires me more than any other author [not auther] does. I appre­ci­ate what’s she’s shared with every­one and how her story plays such an impor­tant role is so many peo­ples’ lives.

I LOVE J.K ROWLING AND HER BOOK SOO MUCH that i just sim­ply cant explain by words.I cant wait to read her new book and im look­ing for­ward to it very much.
Long live the best auther in the world!!

I love the way she writes. She gets you through the places where Harry Pot­ter is. Makes you think there’s really Hog­warts, Diagon Alley and Gringotts bank. I am look­ing for­ward to read­ing her newest hit.

i loved all her books.….
espe­cially the half blood prince
it was quite inter­estin to find who was that!!!
and i wished Cedric was alive to mate cho .…
but i wished there was more parts of Ginny and Harry…
loved all the other plots
the cli­max was bril­liant…
the wand matches with whom…
that was interestin.….…..

I’m not entirely sure how much you can put on her autho­r­ial voice with­out really get­ting a feel for her whole series, but regardless.

I think it would actaully weaken the strength of her series if she added more. I was dis­ap­pointed when the book ended; I lit­er­ally learned how to read by Harry Pot­ter. All the same, though, Rowl­ing prob­a­bly should (and prob­a­bly will) let it be left at that.

J.K.Rowling sure rockss!!!
This pre­quel is some­thing I’m look­ing for­ward to read !!

Joseph December 15, 2008 at 4:06 pm

J.K.Rowling is a FIVE STAR auther in my opin­ion, the best! Dude she’s so awesome!

Nina December 11, 2008 at 12:25 pm

omg!!! Joanna K Rowl­ing ROCKS!! I ♥ her!!!! –In a non-sick-ish way though… haha

Hi!! I love your books so much. I read all the Harry Pot­ter books and I enjoyed it so much! I’m crazy about books. When I fin­ish this other book I’m reading,I’m going to read The Tales of Bee­tle the Bard. When I grow up I’m going to be the best author just like you!!

Anessa December 6, 2008 at 4:07 pm

Harry Pot­ter rules I read all 7 books and took a test on them in 5th grade in 2 weeks each. I can’t wait to read The Tales of Bee­tle the Bard sev­eral times just like I did with the Harry Pot­ter seires.

Kush Jain December 6, 2008 at 11:29 am

She is the “best auther” i hav ever read.
What she ima­g­ins is out of world.
writes the things which can b read hun­dreds of time with the same excite­ment.
i lov harry pot­ter series & hav read each book atleast 35 times.
and i can not wait to read the present buk…
with lots of luv to my fav author.
hope your suc­ces cross the lim­its of sky…

I HATE JK ROWLING

Taylor Rae♥ December 1, 2008 at 4:33 pm

I love J.K. Rowl­ing, and the Harry Pot­ter series. Her books have great struc­ture, and are put together very well. I love her char­ac­ters as well, see­ing how they relate to a lot of peo­ple I know. Lol. I love her, and I hope she keeps writ­ing past The Tales of the Bee­tle and the Bard.

This is absolutely exhil­er­at­ing know­ing that J.K. Rowl­ing will be giv­ing us the great­est christ­mas gift ever… another chance to get lost in one of her won­der­ful books!!!

oishika vaid November 19, 2008 at 1:27 pm

i think, jk rowl­ing has the beau­ti­ful aabil­ity to under­stand and explore a charechters mind and fills in the mar­ket gap of such an amaz­ing book…

JK Rowling biggest fan! November 6, 2008 at 9:39 pm

OMG!!! I LOVE JK ROWLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zak September 11, 2008 at 5:18 pm

She is an Amaz­ing Author. They have a bunch of Sequels out nw for Saw and Fri­day the 13th and hose movies, I just with Rowl­ing would con­tinue the epic Harry Pot­ter Tale. I can beleive it’s supo­sivly over. I almost broke into tears when I fin­ished The Deathly Hollows .

We hope to see more great Nov­els from her in time
