Synopsis
From the Book Jacket: Do you think your teachers thought you would become a writer? I think Miss Shepherd might have believed I could be a writer but I don't think she expected it of me. I always, always wanted to be a writer but I never shared my burning ambition with anyone. When I was about six I wrote a book-just a little story-and when I finished it I remember thinking, well now we can publish this. I wanted the complete experience, even then. I was a lot less arrogant by the time I was twenty-six. By then, I didn't think I had any chance whatsoever. Before 1997 few people knew the brilliant woman behind J. K. Rowling and her phenomenally successful Harry Potter books. Four books into the series, few yet know the real story of Ms. Rowling's childhood and career as a writer. Conversations with J. K. Rowling is the first and only true telling of Ms. Rowling's history because it is in her own words: From her birth in Chipping Sodbury near Bristol, England; to the stories about her favorite (and least favorite) teachers in school growing up; and to the funny misunderstanding in her first fan letter. Reading her story is like a visit with a friend, a friend who has brought you to tears with laughter and told the most enchanting stories you've ever been told.
