It comes out December 4 and the publisher is sponsoring a national essay contest for kids and teens aged 8-17, here in the US. The winners will attend a kid's tea party with Rowling in Edinburgh, Scotland. The contest runs now through October 30 at 5p.
In order to enter The Tales of Beedle the Bard essay contest, you would have to write an essay of 200 words or less describing how you have helped others. For more details, go here.
Five lucky winners will win!
Oh and on December 4th, one of only seven original hand written and illustrated copies of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, will go on display at The New York Public Library's Humanities and Social Sciences Library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street (the exhibit is free), where it will be on display until January 4, 2009.
