The first new sketch from the upcoming The Tales of Beedle the Bard (and slight spoiler for those hoping to wait until December 4), has now surfaced online via the Bulgarian publisher of the novel. At this link, you can see several pages of the tale-written in Bulgarian. Also online is a new sketch by J.K. Rowling of the gravestone of Ignotus Peverell. Ignotus was of course mentioned in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, as the original owner of the Invisibility Cloak and is buried at Godric's Hollow. (Update: these seem to have been taken down.)
The Tales of Beedle the Bard will be released on December 4 in 23 countries, with proceeds of the sale of the new 128 page book by J.K. Rowling to benefit the Children's High Level Group charity. Thanks to Harry Latino for emailing!

But what is up with the Japanese cover? That is one big and rather creepy Babbitty Rabbitty. Haha, Ellanalida. Except now I kind of want the Japanese Beedle, just for the cover.

Ditto, Julie: I can read the letters in Ukrainian, but don’t understand Bulgarian. Any idea where to get the Ukrainian editions of Beedle the Bard or any of the other books in the US?

Whoa… that’s the language Krum reads and writes…
