Sotheby’s London to auction JK Rowling’s original Beedle the Bard manuscript

It just keeps getting better and better for Potterheads, for the magic never ends. A handwritten and illustrated copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard by JK Rowling is all set to be auctioned off at Sotheby’s in London, with estimates ranging between £300,000 to £500,000. The book isn’t just a reader’s wonder, it’s a delight to behold too. Bound in brown Moroccan leather and adorned with seven rhodochrosites, the book features sterling silver ornaments centred around a skull and you can feast your eyes on this latest Rowling marvel from December 9th to 13th at the Sotheby’s London centre. To be auctioned on the last day as a part of the English Literature, History, Children’s Books, and Illustrations sale, this original manuscript was presented by Rowling to British publisher Barry Cunningham almost a decade ago. It is one of the only seven created by the author, and bears a personal dedication. A true treasure for fans of Harry Potter’s creator.
