LEE HARPER TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD 50TH ANNIVERSA...

"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. One of the best-loved classics of all time  To Kill a Mockingbird has earned
many distinctions since its original publication in 1960. It has won the Pulitzer Prize  been
translated into more than forty languages  sold more than forty million copies worldwide  and
been made into an enormously popular movie. It was also named the best novel of the twentieth
century by librarians across the country ( Library Journal ).
