More DescriptionJ.K. Rowling is one of the most popular authors of the late 20th
and early 21st centuries. In 1998, when the first Harry Potter book
was published in the United States, no one – including J.K.
Rowling herself – could have predicted the success of the series.
Now, her seven books about Harry Potter’s adventures are widely
read by adults and children alike and have been translated into more
than 64 languages. Popular movies based on the books have
brought Harry Potter to an even wider audience, and Rowling has
become one of the wealthiest women in the world. But where did
Harry Potter come from? Mythmaker: The Story of J.K. Rowling
delves into the life and mind of an extraordinary woman who
overcame life’s obstacles to become one of the most loved
children’s book authors of all time. As a general introduction to her
life, this biography has not been authorized by J.K. Rowling.
