To Kill A Mockingbird: The bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning classic (Vintage classics)

Atticus Finch defends a black man accused of attacking a white girl in an Alabama town where the verdict is settled long before the trial begins. Harper Lee tells it through Scout Finch, a child young enough to report what she sees without fully interpreting it, which lets the prejudice of the 1930s Deep South show itself rather than be explained. Alongside the courtroom thread runs an ordinary childhood of summers, neighbours and a reclusive figure the children invent stories about, and the two strands meet by the end. This Vintage Classics edition carries the original text, with the humour and compassion of the narration intact. Inside this edition: • The original unaltered text in the Vintage Classics presentation • A child narrator whose limited understanding sharpens the novel's irony • Themes of race, class and moral courage in the American South • Listed among the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World Essential for students of literature, book clubs and readers assembling a shelf of twentieth-century classics, offered by Boipoka.
