Merlin's Beard!

The blurb on the back of the book is enough to set this literature major's heart-beating a faster pace!

"THE TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers' attention in the book known as HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. Now, thanks to Hermione Granger's new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J. K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore. Never before have Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: [...]But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter".

I love that it's been "annotated" by Dumbledore and "translated" by Hermione! I'll share more about it later, when I've read a few! I'm so excited! Thanks J.K. Rowling for being a nerd like me and for writing this!
