The Tales of Beedle the Bard
I don't really understand some of the reviews of this book that I've just read on Amazon. They seem to talk about the literary short falls of the stories, the fact that there aren't enough stories, and the weakness of having Dumbledore supposedly writing his own comments about the stories.
But can't they see that this book is meant, quite simply, to be enjoyed? There are five great stories, and as I read each one, I got more and more excited wondering what Albus would have to say about it at the end. Just because Miss Rowling has written huge books before shouldn't mean that she always has to!
I am loving this book and only have one story to go. I found them light of touch (though not of heart...especially not the 'hairy heart') and extremely entertaining.
So there!
