For them, she can help out more than 22 thousand dollars.
65-year-old former school teacher from the British County of Buckinghamshire, having retired in 2008, worked on a country dump. According to the woman, it is always with trepidation treated to discarded books, but because when she found a few copies of the book “Harry Potter and the philosopher’s stone”, she decided to pick them yourself, saving for the grandchildren.
But the books remained unclaimed and has been in the attic of a former teacher for 12 years. While in may 2020, the woman saw the news that the auction house Hansons Auctioneers of Derbyshire holds online trading rare editions of books on the universe of Harry Potter. The British remembered their ancient discovery and decided to show the books to the evaluators. And not lost.
