The achievement of Joan Rowling can be called special as she has become the first writer in the world to earn $1 billion by writing fairytales. She is now spending a extensive part of her earnings on charity, fighting poverty and diseases. The idea of the book was found while she was on the train from Manchester to London. When the publisher has first decided to bring out her book, she has awarded her 1500 pounds together with a loving advice — to find a permanent job.
