On the author's website:
"'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 institutionalised 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 the illustrations by me, but also notes by ProfessorAlbus Dumbledore, which appear by generous permission if the Hogwarts Headmasters' Archive.'"
According to the email I got from B&N:
"It contains all five wizarding fairy tales left to Hermione Granger by Albus Dumbledore in the seventh and final Harry Potter series. Only one, The Tale of the Three Brothers, is recounted in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. The other four are reveled here for the very first time."
Well, while I knew it HAD to be released EVENTUALLY, I wasn't expecting it. And am curious. You?

If I was rich I would totally get the $100 special edition, because it looks really neat. I'll probably just spring for the cheap one and read it to Isaiah.
I put the $100 edition on my Christmas list, but if I have to buy it myself it will be the cheap one.
