Containing clues that were to prove crucial to Harry Potter’s final mission to destroy Lord Voldemort’s Horcruxes, The Tales of Beedle the Bard is the volume of five wizarding fairy tales left to Hermione Granger by Albus Dumbledore in the seventh and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Only one – The Tale of the Three Brothers – is recounted in the book. In The Tales of Beedle the Bard, the four remaining stories are revealed for the very first time. At only £5.99 from Play it’s not only a bargain, but the proceeds also go to a great charity. Click here to buy from Play.com.

Money from the publication of the book will go to the Children’s High Level Group (CHLG), the English charity co-founded by J K Rowling and Emma Nicholson MEP to help children suffering in institutions.

The book was first available in a series of seven handwritten, personally illustrated and specially bound books by J K Rowling. Six of the seven special books were given as presents to people who really helped JK Rowling on her rise to success. Last December, Amazon famously bid £1.95 million / $4 million for the seventh charity copy at Sotheby’s in London.

The Children’s High Level Group will publish three editions of the book, all in the English language, to be printed and distributed by Bloomsbury, Scholastic and Amazon. The Bloomsbury and Scholastic editions (£6.99 / $12.99) will feature additional commentary on each fairy tale from Professor Dumbledore and an introduction by J K Rowling. Amazon will produce up to a maximum of 100,000 Collector’s Edition copies (£50 / $100), which will aim to closely replicate the look and feel of the original ‘Beedle’. All editions will go on sale on Thursday 4 December 2008.

All net proceeds from the sale of the books – expected to be in the region of £4 million / $8 million – will be donated to CHLG.

The charity works to make life better for vulnerable children across Europe, where over a million children and teenagers are growing up in unacceptable conditions in large residential institutions. In most cases they are without adequate human or emotional contact and stimulation, while many only just survive without life’s basics such as adequate shelter and food.

Emma Nicholson says: “We are so thrilled to be publishing such an exclusive and special book. This unique project will raise vital funds for the work of CHLG, to help us change the lives of hundreds of thousands of marginalised and institutionalised children who are living in appalling conditions, and make sure that no future generation suffers in this way.”

J K Rowling says: “There was understandable disappointment among Harry Potter fans when only one copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard was offered to the public last December. I am therefore delighted to announce that, thanks to the generous support of Bloomsbury, Scholastic and Amazon (who bought the handwritten copy at auction) – and with the blessing of the wonderful people who own the other six original books – The Tales of Beedle the Bard will now be widely available to all Harry Potter fans. Royalties will be donated to the Children’s High Level Group, to benefit institutionalised children in desperate need of a voice. The new edition will include the Tales themselves, translated from the original runes by Hermione Granger, and with illustrations by me, but also notes by Professor Albus Dumbledore, which appear by generous permission of the Hogwarts Headmasters’ Archive.”

Ceran of the Cairngorm Reindeer Herd

1. Adopt a Reindeer £30 (click here)

The Cairngorm Reindeer Herd were introduced into Scotland in 1952 by a Swedish Reindeer Herder, Mikel Utsi. Starting from a few reindeer, the herd has grown in numbers over the years and is currently held at between 130 and 150 by controlling breeding. The reindeer live in their natural environment out on the Cairngorm Mountains and the Cromdale Hills of Scotland. According to the Orkneyinga saga, red deer and reindeer were hunted together in Caithness by the Earls of Orkney about eight centuries ago. Now you can support their re-introduction by adopting a reindeer from the herd. Click here for more information.

5. FurReal Ponies

£275 from John Lewis

Some of you may have seen a Top Gear episode where Richard Hammond races a team of dogs to the North Pole against Jeremy Clarkson and James May in their Toyota Hilux convoy. He did lose out to the cars eventually, but the dogs did exceptionally well and there wasn’t as much concern about getting completely stuck or falling under the ice. The cars were quicker, but the dogs were far better suited to the terrain.

British sledding is not exclusively based on snow. On his travels, Santas Little Helper has even met an Australian Musher who competes in the desert! The dogs are usually Siberian Huskies or Alaskan Malamutes who love to run and run. They are hitched up to a cart in much the way as horses to a carriage or trap. There is a British Mushers Association and several mushing centres around the country.

Here are some basic commands for mushing:

• Gee - Go Right
• Haw - Go Left
• Hike / Pull – Go Forward
• Whooa - Gentle Stop
• Trail - Stay on the trail
• On By – Go past (e.g. past a distraction
• Easy - Go Slower

So why do we associate this sport with Christmas? Most of our Christmas legend comes from Germany and Scandinavia where dog and reindeer sledding used to be an essential means of transport. Along with the Saint Nicholas stories came the tales of sledding with animals much smaller than horses and we eventually came to see sledding as the most festive of sports.

Without any previous experience of dog sledding, you can go along Eynsford in Kent to learn the ropes of handling a team of dogs from an expert. You can even take the rest of the family round the bird of prey centre whilst the gift recipient tries their hand.

• Husky sledding for one and a family pass to the bird of prey centre.
• The adult and child pass is £149 for two hours and includes a family pass into the bird of prey centre.
• The double adult ticket includes; a family pass into the bird of prey centre and two hours husky instruction for two adults, for £199.

Many of you may have heard of the man who caught some thieves in his house whilst on holiday in Spain. He called the police from his holiday villa and the burglars were duly charged thanks to the man’s CCTV footage which he had been watching over the internet. The Spykee is movement activated as well so you could set it to respond to intruders (maybe your little sister?) This robot would enable you to not only film burglars, but to talk to them too. Is anyone else remembering the film Home Alone with Macualy Culkin?

Here’s what the retailers have to say:

Spykee is the first robot to be built that you can transform and control from a computer through a WiFi connection Moreover, you can control him from anywhere in the world via the Internet! Spykee comes with a video camera, a microphone, a loudspeaker and two motors.

Spykee is a Spy Robot!

He can move, watch, hear, take pictures, record video and sound. He is equipped with light and sound effects, video and voice filters…

Spykee is a telephone!

He can be used as a VOIP phone & webcam and is compatible with Skypeâ 3.0 (PC) technology…

Spykee is a Digital Music Player!

Listen to your own music…

Spykee is a video surveillance device!

When a movement is detected, Spykee activates an alarm or sends you a picture by e-mail…

When the battery charge gets low, Spykee returns back to his recharging station automatically!

The Spykee may be a bit expensive for some – but not to worry, the Meccano Spykee Microrobot is only much cheaper. He’s not quite as advanced as the WiFi version, but you get a remote controlled robot with movement, lights and sound effects.

The Meccano Spykee is available from the following retailers:

Play.com Meccano Spkee Wifi Robot £189.99
Play.com Meccano Spykee Micro Robot £17.99

Gizoo Meccano Spykee Wifi Robot £199.95
