Mega Selling Author J. K. Rowling Auction
J.K. Rowling Fairy Tales Sell for $4M
By THOMAS WAGNER – 1 day ago
LONDON (AP) — A book of fairy tales created, handwritten and illustrated by J.K. Rowling sold for nearly $4 million at auction Thursday. The buyer, Web retailer Amazon.com Inc., now owns one of only seven copies of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard," which is leather bound with silver mounts.
We all look back fondly on those halcyon days of Hogwarts and the little boy who lived.
This auction was to benefit The Children's Voice, a charity co-founded in 2005 by Rowling and Baroness Nicholson, a member of Britain's House of Lords.
I have great respect for the author and her efforts in raising money for children's causes.
Any thoughts?
