J.K. Rowling's Fairy Tale Sold for 4 million dollars    [28-12-2007] Recently in London, a hand-written copy of British author J.K. Rowling's book has sold for 4 million dollars. The book is called The Tales of Beedle the Bard. It will never be published. Rowling wrote and illustrated seven copies of the book. But she offered only one copy for sale. The author will give away the remaining six copies of the book to her family and friends. The author sold the book to raise money for the Children's Voice charity. After a bidding war between six auction participants, the book was bought by a representative from London fine art dealers Hazlitt Gooden and Fox. "I am stunned and ecstatic. This will mean so much to children in desperate need of help. It means Christmas has come early for me," said Rowling after the sale. "So to whoever now owns this book, thank you and fair fortune be yours!"     출처: 어린이 영자신문 키즈타임즈 (www.kidstimes.net)
