Simplistic and engaging illustrations
Re-igniting my love for Dumbledore
This is a quick read that not only provides wizarding 'fairy tales' but also provides insight into these works through the addition of commentary by Dumbledore. Through this commentary it appears as if Dumbledore is writing specifically to the reader, which develops a strong personal connection with the short novel. Rowling's decision to include commentary via a well known wizard in this universe creates an engaging read where deeper understanding of the tales can occur. As well as this, the illustrations used throughout are an engaging addition to the text, influencing its overall appeal and consolidating that this is a book of 'fairy tales'.

You absolutely do need to read this before starting the series. I loved the short stories and their nods to classic fairy tales. The author did an amazing job adding his own twists to everything. (0 more)
