Rowling to launch Beedle in Edinburgh
Harry Potter author J K Rowling will host a charity tea party at the National Library of Scotland for the launch on 4th December of follow-up title The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
About 20 local school children, selected by ballot, will be invited to attend the special charity launch at which Rowling will read extracts from the book, published by The Children’s High Level Group (CHLG), the charity co-founded by Rowling and Emma Nicholson MEP, in collaboration with Bloomsbury, Scholastic and Amazon.
Net proceeds from the sale of The Tales of Beedle the Bard will go to fund the charity’s work with vulnerable children across Eastern Europe.
There will be three editions of The Tales of Beedle the Bard in the English language – mass market versions printed and distributed by Bloomsbury in the UK and Scholastic in the US, and a run of up to 100,000 collector’s edition copies printed and distributed by Amazon. To date, 23 foreign language publications are confirmed.
