The achievement of Joan Rowling can be considered special as she has become the first writer in the world to make $1 billion by writing fairytales. She is now spending a significant part of her money on charity, confronting poverty and illness. The idea of the book was found while she was on the train from Manchester to London. When the publisher has first agreed to print her book, she has given her 1500 pounds together with a friendly piece of advice — to find a stable job. He was incredulous of the fact that the young writer would be able to make a living off of writing. Joann has demonstrated the opposite - having produced a number of amazing fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading.
