To Kill a Mockingbird

Synopsis

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.
