Joanne "Jo" Rowling OBE (born 31 July 1965), who writes under the pen name J. K.

Reviews of The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling

Excellent book
Reviewed by Diane, 12/12/2008

I really enjoyed reading these short books. They follow the traditional fairy tales but with a wizard twist.This book also ties in really well with the Harry Potter series.

Reviewed by Melanie, 11/12/2008

I really enjoyed this only problem - it wasn't long enough. The style appealed to me and my daughter (aged 10), I found lots of Dumbledore's comments amusing and the morals are suitable for Wizard and Muggle alike.

Really quite fun!
Reviewed by Scott, 08/12/2008

I think Rowlings creative genuis and her sense of humour comes across extremely well in this style of writing. I'd honestly like to see her write more in this style! It's really a suprisingly amusing book, and great value for the entertainment.
