This pristine first edition, second printing was previously owned by Rowling's literairy agent Christopher Little. As a struggling literary agent in London, Christopher Little took a chance on J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter, turning her books into the most lucrative literary franchise in history. J.K. Rowling was an unpublished, unemployed single mother in Edinburgh in 1995 when she sent Mr. Little the first three chapters of her first book after finding his name in a directory of literary agents. Knowing nothing about the business, she picked him because his name made him sound like a character from a children's book. The rest is history.

An unique association copy.
