"The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience
that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical
success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961
and was later made into an Academy Award winnign film, also a classic.
Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots
of human behavior -- to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and
pathos. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is
regarded as a masterpiece of American literature."
