故事集中有一篇叫《兔子巴比蒂和她的呱呱树桩》，邓布利多写了段批注如下：
Though some six centuries have elapsed since Beedle wrote this tale, and while we have devised innumerable ways of maintaining the illusion of our loved ones’continuing presence.
划重点，第一句话的意思是彼豆写这篇故事已经过去了6个世纪。《哈利波特》的故事发生在20世纪，那么，彼豆就应该是生活在14世纪，是一位非常古老的巫师了。
而在《巫师和跳跳埚》这篇故事中，邓布利多的批注是：
A pro-Muggle story showing a Muggle-loving father as superior in magic to a Muggle-hating son? It is nothing short of amazing that any copies of the original version of this tale survived the flames to which they were so often consigned.
大意是一位亲麻瓜的巫师父亲，他的魔法能力要比讨厌麻瓜的巫师儿子更加强大。邓布利多认为，彼豆应该是一位亲麻瓜的巫师。
其实，这一观点也是得到J.K.罗琳的官方盖章的。在她为大众版《诗翁彼豆故事集》所写的序言中，就提到：
If his stories accurately reflect his opinions, he rather liked Muggles, whom he regarded as ignorant rather than malevolent; he mistrusted Dark Magic, and he believed that the worst excesses of wizardkind sprang from the all-too-human traits of cruelty, apathy, or arrogant misapplication of their own talents.
彼豆是一位很喜欢麻瓜的巫师，他认为麻瓜只是无知，心肠并不坏，此外，他很不信任黑魔法，他认为巫师的残忍来自于他们对自身魔法能力的滥用。
综上可见，彼豆是一位善良、三观很正的巫师，要不然他写的故事集怎么会流传数百年，经久不衰呢？
而在《诗翁彼豆故事集》中，最有名的一篇无疑就是《三兄弟的传说》了。通过这篇故事，让我们知道了死亡圣器的由来。
