On this page you'll find stuff that I figure some of my readers might
be interested in even though it has nothing to do with Brust.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard
The Tales of Beedle the Bard, by J.K. Rowling, is a book of
fairy tales written to supplement the Harry Potter series. It will be
published in two new editions on December 4, 2008, both available for
preorder now.
Net proceeds from both editions support the Children's High Level Group, a charity
registered in England and Wales under registered charity number
1112575, "working at a political and practical level to ensure that
UN minimum standards for the care of children are implemented across
the whole of Europe and beyond".

The Standard
Edition features all five fairy tales from the original The
Tales of Beedle the Bard, a new introduction by Rowling,
illustrations reproduced from the original handcrafted book, and
commentary on each of the tales by Professor Albus Dumbledore.

- The Collector's
Edition is housed in its own case, made to resemble a wizarding
textbook found in the Hogwarts library. It includes a reproduction of
the author's handwritten introduction and ten additional illustrations
not found in the Standard Edition. Opening the cover of the case
reveals a velvet bag embroidered with Rowling's signature and containing
The Tales of Beedle the Bard, complete with metal skull,
corners, and clasp; replica gemstones; and emerald ribbon.
