Re: [LM_NET] Rowling's new book

[Christine Rayl <cjrayl@YAHOO.COM>]

I 'googled' the title on Cuil and there is some information but not much. (I've 
been trying Cuil out to get an idea of its make up and so far I'm not too 
impressed.) I'm not sure how this book will fit in with her earlier work of Harry 
Potter even though supposedly the fairy tales are derived from the series. I, for 
one, will bide my time before making a judgement and am certainly not on pins and 
needles waiting for it to come out.
As for the title, both the word 'beedle' and 'bard' seems to arise from somewhere 
else, 'bard' being normally associated with Shakespeare and 'beedle' pops up as all 
sorts of people in real life and literature.
