In the tradition of the earlier supplemental books "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Quidditch Through the Ages", this slim volume was first encountered within the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", where the so-called fairy-tale of the Three Brothers was revealed. Now, with this complete volume, author J. K. Rowling explores The Tale of the Three Brothers along with 4 other classic fairy-tales from her Wizarding world in the Harry Potter books. The stories themselves are at turns fun, exciting, and dark, and hold all the same charm and wit that the actual Harry Potter books do, but the supplements by adored character Albus Dumbledore reveal magical history and other unrevealed canon information that any fan of Harry Potter will quickly absorb. A really fun book!
