Rare J.K. Rowling Book on Display



NEW YORK (WCBS 880)  -- One of just seven in the world, hand-written and illustrated by the author, this version of "Tales of Beedle the Bard" is owned by the man who calls J.K. Rowling "Jo".

WCBS Reporter Paul Murnane finds out who that man is.

"You're the person who's had to keep all the secrets all these years..." said Murnane.

"Yes, I'm her secret-keeper," said Arthur Levine, co-editor of the "Harry Potter" series.

"Has that been hard for you?" asked Murnane.

"Well, at times the pressure from my nephews has been intense," said Levine.

Levine says 'Potter' fans will find there's a lot to like in this collection of tales.

"Suddenly you'll come across a line that makes you laugh, and then you're right back into the 'what will happen next?'"

Rowling's original work is on display at the New York Public Library until January 4th.
