A fun addition to the world of Harry Potter, this book is purportedly a re-translated (by Hermione Granger) collection of Wizarding Fairy Tales with commentary by Dumbledore and footnotes by both Dumbledore and J.K. Rowling. This is a very short book, but the principal is clever and the stories are cute.
(The only real detracting factor of this book for me personally is that I don't care for the politics involved - I will not buy a copy of this book because I have no desire to help The UN Rights of Child - which has been used to take homeschooled children away from their parents in countries that have ratified it. I would rather not know that my fiction needs are being met but then feeding a political agenda I diagree with. However, that just means I wouldn't purchase it; it in no way takes away from my enjoyment of the stories.)
