Review of 'The tales of Beedle the Bard' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It introduces five short fairytales of the wizard world, and the stories are nice but the best part are the annotations by Dumbledore. They made me chuckle and were surprisingly witty, this tiny book is definitely worth it! (Plus, when buying it you are donating to Lumos).
