About the Book: This special edition of the Path to Fame series tells the inspirational story of J.K. Rowling’s magical journey to becoming the most famous writer in the world. Joanne is not only the creator of Harry Potter, the best-loved character in contemporary fiction and film, but also the author of her own escape from an unhappy first marriage and a depressing existence on the verge of destitution. In this new edition of his original, definitive work, Sunday Times Best-selling Author Sean Smith traces the real-life path to fame of a shy girl who realised her dreams. He goes behind the tabloid legend of a single mum sitting in a cafe, making a coffee last for hours - her baby daughter asleep beside her - while she wrote Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. For Harry Potter fans, he reveals many of the origins and sources of the books drawn from her early life. The film Magic Beyond Words: the J.K. Rowling Story is based on this biography. About the Series: Path to Fame is a unique series of books by Sean Smith, in which he follows the ups and downs, the disasters and triumphs of our best-loved superstars on their journey to becoming famous.
