打敗佛地魔的關鍵線索!
《吟遊詩人皮陀故事集》是魔法世界最著名的童話故事書,也是阿不思.鄧不利多留給妙麗.格蘭傑的遺物,其中更包含了哈利波特的最後任務,也就是毀滅佛地魔分靈體的關鍵線索。五篇故事中只有〈三兄弟的故事〉的內容曾在《哈利波特》第七集《死神的聖物》中出現,其餘四篇〈幸運泉〉、〈魔法師的毛茸茸心臟〉、〈巫師與跳跳鍋〉以及〈巴比兔迪迪和咯咯笑樹樁〉則都是直到現在才首次曝光。
這次推出的新版本,是由妙麗.格蘭傑翻譯自古代神秘文字的原版故事,並配上J.K.羅琳親手繪製的插圖,同時還有經由霍格華茲校長檔案室慷慨許可後所加入的鄧不利多教授對這些故事所作的獨到註解,相信所有巫師和麻瓜們都能樂在其中。

The Tales of Beedle the Bard have been favourite bedtime reading in wizarding households for centuries. Full of magic and trickery, these classic tales both entertain and instruct, and remain as captivating to young wizards today as they were when Beedle first put quill to parchment in the fifteenth century. There are five tales in all: 'The Tale of the Three Brothers' Harry Potter fans will know from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; 'The Fountain of Fair Fortune', 'The Warlock's Hairy Heart', 'The Wizard and the Hopping Pot' and 'Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump' complete the collection. These narrative gems are accompanied by explanatory notes by Professor Albus Dumbledore (included by kind permission of the Hogwarts Headmaster's archive). His illuminating thoughts reveal the stories to be much more than just simple moral tales, and are sure to make Babbitty Rabbitty and the slug-belching Hopping Pot as familiar to Muggles as Snow White and Cinderella.
This edition of these much loved fairy tales from the wizarding world pairs J.K. Rowling's original text with gorgeous jacket art by Jonny Duddle and line illustrations throughout by Tomislav Tomic.
