"Someone rare has written this very fine first novel: a writer with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest, most authentic humor. A touching book; and so funny, so likable." At the age of eight, Scout Finch is an entrenched free-thinker. She can accept her father's warning that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird, because mockingbirds harm no one and give great pleasure." 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is an authentic and nostalgic story which in rare fashion at once puts together the tenderness and the tragedy of the South. They are the inseparable ingredients of a region much reported but seldom so well understood."The author's first novel, winner of the 1961 Pulitzer Prize.. First published in July of 1960--with an original printing of 5,000 copies. A novel set in a small Southern town of the USA in the 1930s, an 8 year old Girl Scout who learns about courage, heroism and racial injustice one summer. Life lessons emerge despite small town temperaments and cultural lore. This is one of the classic books of the twentieth century.
