TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (HARDCOVER)

'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to
kill a mockingbird'. Atticus Finch gives this advice to his children as he defe
nds the real mockingbird of this classic novel - a black man charged with attack
ing a white girl. Through the eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Lee explores the issu
es of race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s with compassion and humour.



She also creates one of the great heroes of literature in their father, whose
lone struggle for justice pricks the conscience of a town steeped in prejudice
and hypocrisy.
