To Kill a Mockingbird is Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning coming-of-age novel set in Maycomb, Alabama. An American classic, which took Lee over two years write, was inspired by her own upbringing – in fact, Lee’s father was a lawyer who had defended Black clients at the cost of his practice. Its production was not without difficulty and Lee once became so angry over the course of writing the novel that she tossed the manuscript out a window. The book has never been out of print, has sold tens of millions of copies, and is required reading for the American adolescent. To Kill a Mockingbird was also adapted by Horton Foote into a 1963 film, directed by Robert Mulligan and starring Gregory Peck, which won three Oscars. Near Fine in Very Good - dust jacket.
