'Someone rare has written this very fine novel, a writer with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest, most authentic humor' TRUMAN CAPOTE
One of the greatest American novels ever written, now available in a special clothbound edition to mark the centenary of Harper Lee's birth.
'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 charged with a serious crime.
Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores 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.
