Harry Potter fandom has been rumoured to be the cause of the disappearance. He also sued Bloomsbury for offering insufficient compensation. The original artwork for the second book, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, went on auction at Christie's in 2001 but was unsuccessful at meeting the reserve price of £30,000. The work has since been acquired by investor Luke Heron on behalf of illustration investment company Storyboard Assets Plc for an undisclosed sum. The original art for the first book raised £85,000 at auction. Post-Harry Potter work Cliff Wright conducts an innovative drawing workshop annually, titled the Art of Seeing. Wright has illustrated numerous books for the publishing houses of Ladybird Books and Oxford University Press, in the 1990s and 2000s. He has also written and illustrated the "Little Bear" series of board books from Templar Publishing. Bibliography When the World Sleeps, (Hutchinson, 1989) Crumbs!
