About this product

Product Information

She is the creator of probably the most famous - and certainly the best-loved - character in contemporary fiction. She is also the author of her own escape from an existence on the brink of poverty, with no job and few prospects. On the one hand there is J.K. Rowling, who wrote, and continues to write, the Harry Potter novels,a literary phenomenon. O the other, there is Joanne Rowling, a quiet, dreamy, rather shy woman whose brilliance in translating her dreams into prose transformed her own life. JK - The Story of J.K. Rowling details her life from her childhood and schooling in the West Country; the effect upon her of the wasting illness that struck down her mother; her time at Exeter University; her long-term relationship and her career and marriage, which collapsed after thirteen months, leaving her to return to Britain with her baby daughter. The Harry Potter novels are more than fantasy: there is a toughness to the writing, a sense of realism and a questing morality that go beyond mere adventure, magic and the battle between good and evil. How those books came to be written, and the influences that shaped both them and their author, form the core of this inspirational biography.

  • As good as new

  • Well written but dated now, written in 2001.

    Much speculation and reliance on people from J K Rowlings past,ie people who knew her but not intimately,therefore not necessarily accurate although conclusions drawn seem to be unbiased. Unfortunately written too early to cover the later developement of her stories and the characters in them. I bought it as J K Rowling has not produced her own autobiography and i was curious to find out more about her past and the background which has lead to her success. Until she decides to reveal her tale herself it's probably a limited and unbiased an account as is available. AJB.
