Synopsis
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is about the crisis of human behavior and conscience arising from the racism and prejudice that exist in the small Southern town during the Depression. Scout Finch, age 8, who lives with her brother, Jem, and their lawyer father, Atticus, in Maycomb, Alabama, tells the story of her father's defense of Tom Robinson, a young black man who is being tried for the rape of a white woman. Harper Lee's only novel, first published in 1960 and awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1961, is a much-beloved tale of growing up, as well as an exploration of heroism confronted with bigotry.

Publisher's Note
"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird". A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina and quiet heroism of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. Harper-Collins is proud to celebrate the thirty-fifth anniversary of the book's publication with this special hardcover edition featuring a new foreword by the author. Featuring a new introduction by the author, this specially packaged, popularly priced hardcover edition of an American classic (with more than 30 million copies sold) celebrates the 35th anniversary of its original publication.
Industry reviews
"Atticus Finch being spat upon without spitting back and Ben-Hur choosing not to kill Messala. Those are lessons. Mercy. Tolerance. Those burned in my imagination." Mother Jones - Gus Lee "What appears in the 'foreword' may come as a surprise. Instead of providing a standard foreword, the publisher has reprinted part of a prickly but poignant letter that Miss Lee wrote to her agent in 1993 rejecting a British publisher's request for an introduction to the novel....[S]he said...through her agent that she was 'surprised' that HarperCollins had focused on her refusal, reconfigured as a 'new foreword,' and had used it as a feature of the new jacket." New York Times - Mary B.W. Tabor (08/23/1995)
