Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Author: J K Rowling
Illustrator: Jim Kay
Publisher: Bloomsbury

One of a seven book series which has had an exceptional impact on readers of all ages. This book describes the first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry of orphan Harry Potter, a boy destined to have a great future, and his friends and enemies. Perhaps one of the keys to its popularity is that it draws on several genres - adventure, fantasy and school stories. The books have been made into an equally popular film series.
