JK Rowling's Tales of Beedle The Bard To Be Published

This is the book that was handwritten by JKR herself, seven individual books, given all the lavish attention that the bookmaker's art can devise, including gem-bedecked covers. It was given to her closest friends, and one copy was auctioned off on eBay.

Now, with the permission of the owners of the 7 original copies, it will go into mass production.

Needless to say, a nice treat for Christmas.

I lucked out years ago, just after the second of the Harry Potter books came out; I wrote JKR a fan letter, and received an autographed photo from her publisher.
