review of Rowling's Beedle the Bard

This book is a perfect example of what the modern author can do to create something ancient much as a book of fables. The tales are similar to the fables and such that Muggles are brought up with in their basic moral principles. The tale of the Three Brother's teaches patience; the tale of the Wizard and the Hopping Pot teaches responsibility; the tale of Babbity Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump teaches justice; the tale of the Fountain of Fair Fortune teaches self reliance and belief; the tale of the Warlock's Hairy Heart teaches the importance of acknowledging feelings and not locking them away or ignoring them.
