the book, which was rowling's debut novel, was written between approximately june 1990 and some time in 1995. in 1990 jo rowling, as she preferred to be known, wanted to move with her boyfriend to a flat in manchester and in her words, "one weekend after flat hunting, i took the train back to london on my own and the idea for harry potter fell into my head... a scrawny, little, black-haired, bespectacled boy became more and more of a wizard to me... i began to write "philosopher's stone" that very evening. although, the first couple of pages look nothing like the finished product." then rowling's mother died and, to cope with her pain, rowling transferred her own anguish to the orphan harry. rowling spent six years working on "harry potter and the philosopher's stone", and after it was accepted by bloomsbury, she obtained a grant of £8,000 from the scottish arts council, which enabled her to plan the sequels. she sent the book to an agent and a publisher, and then the second agent she approached spent a year trying to sell the book to publishers, most of whom thought it was too long at about 90,000 words. barry cunningham, who was building a portfolio of distinctive fantasies by new authors for bloomsbury children's books, recommended accepting the book, and the eight-year-old daughter of bloomsbury's chief executive said it was "so much better than anything else".
