To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, June 2011.

From the 50th Anniversary Edition published by Harper Perennial Modern Classics:


""Shoot All The Bluejays You Want,
If You Can Hit 'Em,
But Remember
It's A Sin To Kill
A Mockingbird."


Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-Winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep South - and the heriosm of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred.

One of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill A Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than thirty million copies worldwide, served as the basis of an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejuidice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inquities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father - a crusading local lawyer - risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime."
