J.K. Rowling's Rare Fairytale Book To Go On Auction

A collector's edition copy of 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard'

 Just when everyone thought that JK Rowling has put down her pen she springs out another surprise in form of a rare collector's edition book "The Tales of Beetle the Bard". A rare hand-written copy of fairytales from Harry Potter's magical world is set to go under hammer next month. Titled The Tales of Beedle the Bard, the book is a collection of five fairytales mentioned in the J.K. Rowling's last book in the boy wizard saga, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

 Bound in brown leather and decorated with a silver skull and moonstones, the book is currently on display at Sotheby's in London.

 There are only seven copies of the book, of which six have been given away as gifts. The only edition left will be auctioned on Dec 13 to help raise funds for Rowling's children's charity. It is expected to fetch up to $120,000 but the price can go even higher as it is a supremely rare collector's item and any Potter's fan's prize keep.
