To Kill A Mockingbird:
Voted America's Best-Loved Novel in PBS's The Great
American Read
Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honour and injustice
in the deep South—and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent
hatred.
One of the most cherished stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into
more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide,
served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one
of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country.
A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of
coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of
great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her
father—a crusading local lawyer—risks everything to defend a black man unjustly
accused of a terrible crime.
