The Tales of Beedle The Bard Will Be Available In Braille

Children’s High Level Group posted a press release on their site which confirms that The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling will be available in Braille along with the other editions upon its published release date of December 4, 2008. Children’s High Level Group is a charity designated by Ms. Rowling to receive profits from the book. Here is what she was quoted to have said: "Hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children in Eastern Europe are living in appalling conditions in large, residential institutions. Contrary to popular belief, fewer than 4% of them are orphans, but are in care because they are considered disabled or their families are poor or from ethnic minorities. The charity is publishing The Tales of Beedle the Bard to raise money to fund our work in helping these children out of institutions and in to loving families or community care homes. The Braille editions are produced in partnership with the RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People) in the UK and the National Braille Press in the USA. Click here to read the press release. The press release also mentions The Tales of Beedle the Bard Tea Party which we already posted here. Thanks Snitchseeker
