| | |  Tales of Beedle the Bard expected to raise millions, U.S. cover art unveiled
Following yesterday's announcement about the pending release of the Tales of Beedle the Bard on December 4th, a representative for The Children's High Level Group, who are publishing the stories, has said they expect to raise $8 million through the sales. Quote:
"We are so thrilled to be publishing such an exclusive and special book. This unique project will raise vital funds for the work of CHLG, to help us change the lives of hundreds of thousands of marginalised and institutionalised children who are living in appalling conditions, and make sure that no future generation suffers in this way," Emma Nicholson of the CLHG said.
With a December 4th release, it will be available just in time for Christmas. You can use the following links to pre-order this item;
Amazon: Collector's Edition & Standard Edition.
Amazon.co.uk: Collector's Edition & Standard Edition
Further to that, the U.S. cover art for the standard edition of the book, designed by Mary Grandpre, has been revealed and can be seen nice and big in our galleries.   | |

thats a price difference.
I'll prob get eh collectors one, cos i haev the money too. but thats not very fair on otheres, but Ł3.969 is a good price
Wasnt the OCmic relief books about this price as well? Wonder how much they raised.
But 8 million is a good amount of money.

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
