J.K. Rowling is one of the most popular authors of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Her books about Harry Potter’s adventures are widely read by adults and children alike and have been translated into more than 64 languages. With the recent completion of the seven-book series, Rowling’s popularity is at an all-time high. But Rowling didn’t start out famous. As a single mother, she struggled for many years before her books were published. Mythmaker: The Story of J.K. Rowling, Second Edition has been fully updated to tell her inspiring life story. This biography has not been authorized by J.K. Rowling; it is a general introduction to her life.

Kate Reading (narrator) has narrated more than a hundred audiobooks for major companies and is the winner of multiple Earphones Awards (AudioFile).
