Description

The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an immediate bestseller and a vital success when it was initially released in 1960. It continued to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later converted to an Academy-Award-winning film, also a vintage. 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. Today with more than 18 million copies in publications and translated into forty languages, this regional story by way of a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal.
