To Kill A Mockingbird

To Kill A Mockingbird

'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.'   A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man falsely charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.   To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.

Lee Harper

Nelle Harper Lee was born in 1926 in Alabama as the youngest of four children. Her father was a newspaper editor and lawyer. As a child she loved to read and enjoyed spending time with her schoolmate and neighbor Truman Capote. She enrolled in law school at the University of Alabama, which she never graduated from. She completed the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" in 1959, for which she received the Pulitzer Prize in 1961. The book became a bestseller immediately after its publication, and it has remained so to this day. In 1999, Library Journal declared the book "the best novel of the century". In 2007, the writer was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution to literature.
