a woman writes about a boy and the wonder of it all, to begin with

Once upon a time, a global phenomenon was born: an orphaned boy with a lightning scar on his forehead. Along came a revolution of reading. Just when the digital age seemed to usher in a universe of alliteracy, the magic of the written word suddenly held sway, casting its spell the world over. It's been ten years now. It's about time the woman who bewitched us all with the enchantment of her imagination takes a long last bow. Long live, J.K. Rowling!
