To Kill a Mockingbird by Lee Harper

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-winning 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. 
Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into 
forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman 
claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book 
to be a simple love story. 
Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature.
