There are five fairy tales in this collection, each followed by some notes and commentary by Albus Dumbledore. I enjoyed this analysis and 'historical' information just as much as I did the stories themselves.
I won't say more, as it's a short book and you should read it. Unless you hate Harry Potter, in which case it's probably not for you! :-)

I plan to read this, but first I must finish the Harry Potter series. It's taking me years!
I thought this was a lot of fun too - I only wish it'd been longer!
Oh, this is a really nice review... and I do mean, "nice". You see, I was apprehensive about this book, as I thought it was merely commercial, and it would be absolutely rubbish, so despite being a Harry Potter fan, I disregarded this book. Now, I might have to revisit it.
Charley - oh, how lucky, you still have some of this wonderful series before you! :-)
Nymeth - I wish that too!
anothercookie - I disregarded it as well, for the same reasons as you, which is why it's taken me so long to read it... You should definitely give it a shot!
Everyone got really excited about this one when it was released, but I'd forgotten all about it - I really should try to get a copy from the library. Thanks for reminding me about it!
farmlanebooks - hope you like it!
