Voted America's Best-Loved Novel in PBS's The Great American Read
Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice
in the deep South--and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and
violent hatred
One of the most cherished stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird
has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty
million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular
motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth
century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching,
and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by
virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage
inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father--a crusading
local lawyer--risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of
a terrible crime.
