MOCKINGBIRD, A PORTRAIT OF HARPER LEE by Charles J. Shields, Copyright 2006.

"Shields is a scrupulous journalist who respects [Lee's] privacy even as he opens up her life. This biography will not disappoint those who loved the novel and the feisty, independent, fiercely loyal Scout in whom Harper Lee put so much of herself."--Garrison Keillor, The New York Times Book Review

'To Kill a Mockingbird'--the twentieth century's most widely read American novel--has sold 30 million copies and still sells a million yearly. But the book's author, Harper Lee, was a mysterious figure. Now, after years of research, Charles J. Shields brings to life the warmhearted, high-spirited, and occasionally hardheaded woman who gave us two of American literature's most unforgettable characters--Atticus Finch and his daughter, Scout.

At the center of Shields's evocative, lively book is the story of Lee's struggle to create her famous novel, but her colorful life contains many highlights--her girlhood as a tomboy in overalls in tiny Monroeville, Alabama; the murder trial that made her beloved father's reputation and inspired her great work; her journey to Kansas as Truman Capote's ally and research assistant to help report the story of 'In Cold Blood'. Highly entertaining, filled with humor and heart, 'Mockingbird' is an affectionate portrait of a writer, her dream, and the place and people she made immortal.

"Admirable. . . 'Mockingbird' makes the reader look at Harper Lee with new and respectful eyes."--USA Today

"Shields does a fine job of re-creating Lee's inspiration for 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. . . her childhood neighhorhood, its characters and the dynamic other family itself."--Los Angeles Times

"As amiable and unassuming as its subject. . . Shields nimbly escorts us through [Harper Lee's] progression from tomboy to wise-cracking, cigarette-smoking, fashion-resistant coed."--Boston Sunday Globe

This softbound book measures 5-5/8" x 8-3/8", contains 339 pages and is in very good condition (there is very minor wear on the edges of the cover, however, the text and illustration are clean and bright).
