The second novel in the Harry Potter seriesProvenance: Vendor's mother was a teacher who had been enjoying reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone with her class at Dunblane Primary School. In February 1999, Rowling visited the school, signed books and answered questions. The vendor has kindly provided the following statement:'My mum had arranged with a couple of other members of staff to take JK Rowling for lunch at the café in the High Street in Dunblane and asked them if they minded if I could come along too. I was 11 years old at the time, and a huge Harry Potter fan. The other staff were quite happy, and my mum was able to pick me up from my school a couple of miles away and we all arrived at the café. JK Rowling sat beside me and the two of us had a good chat. She was really lovely. I had brought a card which I had made for JK Rowling, and also my copy of Chamber of Secrets which I was hoping that JK Rowling would sign. Amazingly, she said that I had drawn a creature from Book 4 on the front of the card! She asked me not to tell anyone because it was a secret. Book 4 was not due to be released for more than a year as I remember. I never told anyone what the creature was, although now I can reveal that it was a mermaid shaped liked a ‘J’ for Joanne. JK Rowling then signed my book with that amazing inscription. That night, I wrote the name of the creature on a piece of paper (and maybe other things – I can’t remember now) and, without letting anyone see it, placed it in an envelope. My mum and I signed and sealed the envelope just for fun and and I used it thereafter as a bookmark. I never imagined that the book would ever be worth anything and I lent it to a couple of friends after finishing it. Now I want to move house and have decided to sell my precious book. I would be happy to write about my lunch with JKR for the buyer and answer any questions s/he may have. I hope it gives them as much pleasure and excitement as it has given me.'
