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. Never 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.

The stories are accompanied by delightful pen-and-ink illustrations by Ms. Rowling herself, featuring a still-life frontispiece for each one. Professor Dumbledore’s commentary—apparently written some eighteen months before his death—reveals not just his vast knowledge of Wizarding lore, but also more of his personal qualities: his sense of humor, his courage, his pride in his abilities, and his hard-won wisdom. Names familiar from the Harry Potter novels sprinkle the pages, including Aberforth Dumbledore, Lucius Malfoy and his forebears, and Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (or “Nearly Headless Nick”), as well as other professors at Hogwarts and the past owners of the Elder Wand. Dumbledore tells us of incidents unique to the Wizarding world, like hilariously troubled theatrical productions at Hogwarts or the dangers of having a “hairy heart.” But he also reveals aspects of the Wizarding world that his Muggle readers might find all too familiar, like censorship, intolerance, and questions about the deepest mysteries in life.

Altogether, this is an essential addition to our store of knowledge about the world and the magic that J. K. Rowling has created, and a book every true Harry Potter fan will want to have for their shelves.

诗翁彼豆故事集

J.K.罗琳继“哈利·波特”之后，推出的唯一新作。
《诗翁彼豆故事集》是一部写给儿童巫师看的故事集。几个世纪以来，这些故事一直都是深受人们喜爱的睡前读物，因此，霍格沃茨的许多学生都对“跳跳埚”和“好运泉”耳熟能详，就像麻瓜(非巫师)孩子们熟悉“灰姑娘”和“睡美人”一样。在许多方面，彼豆的故事跟我们的童话故事很相似。比如，善有善报，恶有恶报。但是它们之间有一个非常明显的区别。在麻瓜的童话故事里，魔法一般都是男女主人公的祸根——邪恶的女巫给苹果下毒，或让公主沉睡一百年，或把王子变成可怕的怪兽。而在《诗翁彼豆故事集》里，我们看到的男女主人公自己就会施展魔法，但是他们跟我们一样也会遇到棘手的麻烦。许多个世纪以来，彼豆故事一直在帮助家长向他们的孩子解释人生中一个痛苦的事实：魔法能解决很多问题，但同时也会制造同样多的麻烦。
