TRUMAN CAPOTE  'No one forgets this book.' INDEPENDENT  'One of the best first novels I remember ... uniquely unsentimental.' GUARDIAN  'There is humour as well as tragedy in this book, besides its faint note of hope for human nature; and it is delightfully written.' SUNDAY TIMES  '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 a serious crime.  Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores the irrationality of adult attitudes to 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 of one man's struggle for justice.  But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9781529155891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 23 Jun 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Cornerstone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: United Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 22.4(H)x14.2(L)x3.1(W)414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 414\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003eHarper Lee was born in 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama.
