..here's a preview of the book by j.k. rowling. i believe this one is being auctioned by sotheby’s in london. the said book contains five wizarding tales, among those who read the seventh book of the famous harry potter series, they'll know it was referenced in the last book; harry potter and the deathly hallows. the book below is only one of the seven handmade copies in existence and is auctioned for a purchase price of £1,950,000. the proceeds will be donated to the charity she co-founded which is "the children's voice campaign. this is to improve the lives of the institutionalized children across europe.

the tales of beedle the bard is bound in brown moroccan leather and embellished with five hand-chased hall marked sterling silver ornaments and mounted moonstones as seen in the pictures below. it contains 157 pages, extensive illustrations and handwritings of j.k. rowling herself.
