J.K. Rowling Fairy Tale Sets New Record

Sotheby’s is betting Harry Potter’s fame will lift a handwritten fairy tale by J.K. Rowling to a record 50,000 pounds ($103,000) at a Dec. 13 London charity auction. “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” went on show at the auction house with a valuation similar to a 1902 edition of Beatrix Potter’s “The Tale of Peter Rabbit.”
