JK Rowling to release new book

Harry Potter author's fairytales to be sold for charity

Friday, 1 August 2008

JK Rowling’s first work since the Harry Potter novels is to be published for charity.

The Tales Of Beedle The Bard
is a collection of fairytales she initially penned and illustrated as a set of 7 one-off editions.

She gave 6 away as gifts and the other was sold for £1.95 million at a charity auction in December.

But now JK, 43, has allowed the tales – which are referred to in the Harry Potter books – to be published to help her charity The Children's High Level Group.

It’s hoped £4 million will be raised from the sales.

The Tales Of Beedle The Bard will go on sale in December.
