SUMMARY |
"In 1995, on a four-hour-delayed train from Manchester to London, J. K. Rowling conceived of the idea of a boy wizard named Harry Potter. Upon arriving in London, she began immediately writing the first book in the saga. Rowling¡¦s true-life, rags-to-riches story is as compelling as the world of Hogwarts that she created. This biography details not only Rowling¡¦s life and her love of literature but the story behind the creation of a modern classic"-- Provided by publisher. |
