This was actually my final read of 2008. A Christmas present from H, I read it over about three nights between Christmas and New Year.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard are five wizarding fairy tales; one features heavily in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. They are fairly simple, and the conceit is that Hermione Granger translated the copy that she received from Albus Dumbledore, along with his notes on the text. An interesting little book, although I would say only within the confines of the Harry Potter septology.
