20in2009: 1. The Tales of Beedle the Bard (by J.K. Rowling)

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!


beedle the bard


A half-decent book that is introduced as a collection of wizarding fables (with notes by a Harry Potter character), it soon loses its charm. When JKR buries the voices of the fables’ protagonists under the accompanying notes, the reader starts questioning the book’s length and wonders who the target audience is (definitely not *THIS* Muggle).

    Nice to have you back at blogging again! I cheated and read the Beedle & Bard book one afternoon right in the bookstore, and I agree completely with your verdict.
    So now what’s next? Tolstoy?
