JK Rowling’s The Tale of Beedle the Bard is on course to become the fastest-selling book of 2008 in the UK.
The Harry Potter author’s collection of fairytales has shifted close to 370,000 copies in its first week on sale.
The book’s nearest rival, Guinness World Records 2008, had 73,236 over-the-counter sales in the same period.
