The achievement of Joan Rowling can be named special as she has become the first author in the world to earn $1 billion by publishing fairytales. She is now spending a noticeable part of her money on charity, confronting poverty and diseases. The idea of the book was created while she was on the train from Manchester to London. When the publisher has first decided to print her book, she has given her 1500 pounds together with a loving piece of advice — to find a permanent job. He was unaware of the idea that the young writer would be able to make money of writing. Joann has demonstrated the opposite - having published a series of exceptional fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading books.
