| | |  J.K. Rowling to contribute to British book
The Evening Standard is today reporting that J.K. Rowling is to write a contribution for Gordon Brown's (the U.K.'s prime minister) book about being British.
Announced at the Edinburgh international book festival, the publication will be out in spring 2009. Quote:
Bill Campbell, of Mainstream Publishing in Edinburgh, of which Mr Brown used to be a director, said: 'It was an original idea from Gordon and there has been a substantial personal contribution from him.
'He has approached several archbishops and other religious leaders for their views, and Ian Rankin, JK Rowling and Sir George Martin are among the other contributors.
'The book is meant to reflect on the diversity of what it means to be British in the modern day.'

what an excellent idea - compiling a number of esays in an attempt to document what it is to be British (for each author). as they say - everyone has their story!

Very interesting idea for a book. I wonder who it would appeal to outside of UK passport holders, those w/ UK born grandparents, and Anglophiles (oh and HP fans, thank you JK!!). I would find this an interesting coffee table type book.

It'll be interesting to hear Jo's perspective on Britain and its people.
