They wrote on the inside title page in light pencil - ’98, Darling Fraser, Much love, Mummy and Daddy". At the same time, Fraser had started a Harry Potter book club with his Tower House school friends and Fraser's mother emailed Bloomsbury to see if JK Rowling would visit to do a reading, something that seemed perfectly reasonable in 1998 before Rowling had become famous. Bloomsbury replied in the negative but sent a publicity photo of the author - included in the lot - as a 'stand in' and hoped it would help and encourage the boys. It is an original photo print dated 28/8/98 on the back and there is a written note on the back of the photo asking for it to be returned to Bloomsbury, something however they failed to do.
