Amazon’s special edition pays homage to the design of the handcrafted original Beedle, right down to the bonded leather binding, the metalwork and the replica gemstones!

J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, updated her official site with the following news:
"There was understandable disappointment among Harry Potter fans when only one copy of “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” was offered to the public last December.
I am therefore delighted to announce that, thanks to the generous support of Bloomsbury, Scholastic and Amazon (who bought the handwritten copy at auction) – and with the blessing of the wonderful people who own the other six original books – “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” will now be widely available to all Harry Potter fans.
Royalties will be donated to the Children’s High Level Group, to benefit institutionalized children in desperate need of a voice.
The new edition will include the Tales themselves, translated from the original runes by Hermione Granger, and with illustrations by me, but also notes by Professor Albus Dumbledore, which appear by generous permission of the Hogwarts Headmasters’ Archive.
Dumbledore’s commentary on the Tales, which was discovered among his papers after his death, includes some historical notes, personal reminiscences, and insights into that mysterious branch of magic: wandlore.
I very much hope that readers coming to these classic wizarding fables for the first time will find his commentary both entertaining and helpful."

Scholastic has updated their site with more info on the content of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, which will be published on December 4th with all proceeds benifitting the Children's High Level Group charity.
You can read some of it below and see it all here !
Professor Dumbledore’s commentary—apparently written some eighteen months before his death—reveals not just his vast knowledge of Wizarding lore, but also more of his personal qualities: his sense of humor, his courage, his pride in his abilities, and his hard-won wisdom.
Names familiar from the Harry Potter novels sprinkle the pages, including Aberforth Dumbledore, Lucius Malfoy and his forebears, and Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (or “Nearly Headless Nick”), as well as other professors at Hogwarts and the past owners of the Elder Wand.
Dumbledore tells us of incidents unique to the Wizarding world, like hilariously troubled theatrical productions at Hogwarts or the dangers of having a “hairy heart.” But he also reveals aspects of the Wizarding world that his Muggle readers might find all too familiar, like censorship, intolerance, and questions about the deepest mysteries in life.

Isn't in interesting that she's still writing more Harry Potter, even after it's supposed to be all over and finished?
>.< This is like beating a dead horse.
[Shrug] I'll suppose some fans will like it.
I'm going to pass.

Beedle is a bard.
A bard is a poet or storyteller.
Beedle is his name.
