This book includes short stories about witches and wizards from the ancient past of the Harry Potter world. These legends are enjoyed by wizard children at Hogwarts just as fairy tales about Cinderella and Snow White are well-known in the muggle world.

I always enjoy rereading this one, especially for the commentary from Dumbledore. Very clever and hilarious!
Each story has a moral lesson about life and death, good and evil, and the power of love. The writing style is very similar to classic fairy tales.

2024 Update: Rereading this book in Spanish was a lot of fun. It gave me a fresh new enjoyment of the stories and all the magic!
