Harper Lee's beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, reissued in a beautiful deluxe limited edition hardcover.
"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."
Experience the indelible world of Scout, Jem, Boo Radley, Atticus Finch, and the small town of Maycomb, Alabama, with this beautiful deluxe limited edition hardcover of Harper Lee's beloved classic.
A haunting portrait of race, innocence, injustice, and quiet heroism in the Jim Crowe Deep South of the 1930s, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird remains as fresh and important today as it was upon its initial publication in 1960. Enduring in vision, this timeless novel illuminates the complexities of human nature and the depths of the human heart with humor, unwavering honesty, and a tender, nostalgic beauty. It is a poignant reminder that moral courage and love can flourish in the darkest of times.
A staple of American classrooms for decades, 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 acclaimed Broadway play, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians nationwide. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South defined by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great wonder and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father--a principled lawyer--risks everything to defend a black man falsely accused of a terrible crime.
Harper Lee was born in 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama. She is the author of the acclaimed To Kill a Mockingbird, originally published in 1960, and Go Set a Watchman, published in July 2015. Ms. Lee received the Pulitzer Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and numerous other literary awards and honors. She died on February 19, 2016.
