Jo writes of the special tea party which will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland December 4, reminding us that various contests being held to attend the event, as well as noting one of the original handwritten books she gave as gifts after the completion of "Deathly Hallows" will be on display in Scotland. Readers will recall as well that Scholastic editor Arthur Levine has also lent his copy of Beedle for display at the New York Public Library December 4 through January 4, 2009 as well. The proceeds from the sale of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" will benefit the Children's High Level group charity, which helps vulnerable children in Eastern Europe. Jo writes that she hopes " The Tales of Beedle the Bard will not only be a welcome Christmas present to "Harry Potter fans, but an opportunity to give these abandoned children a voice."
