'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.'

To Kill a Mockingbird revolves around Jean Louise Finch, an intelligent yet unconventional girl whose age ranges from six to nine in the three years that the novel covers. While the characters of this book are remotely based on Harper Lee’s observations of her family and neighbors, its plot is based on an event that occurred in Lee’s hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, in 1936.

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 humor 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.

 

Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, "To Kill A Mockingbird" takes readers to the roots of human behavior - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature.
