Who is Harper Lee?

Harper Lee is one of the twentieth century's most celebrated authors. Born in 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama, she grew up in a family of lawyers and judges. After graduating from high school, she enrolled at the University of Alabama, where she studied law. However, after a few years, she decided to leave her studies and move to New York City, where she worked as a reservations clerk for an airline. It was during this time that she began writing the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic "To Kill a Mockingbird." Published in 1960, the novel quickly became a bestseller, winning the Pulitzer Prize and earning Lee a place among the literary greats. In 2014, the book was converted into a digital audiobook for the first time. Despite her success, Lee only published one other novel, "Go Set a Watchman," a New York Times bestseller released in 2015 by HarperCollins publishers. Nevertheless, she will always be remembered as one of America's finest writers.

What is "To Kill a Mockingbird" about?

"To Kill a Mocking Bird," read by Sissy Spacek, tells the story of a young girl, Scout, in the fictional Deep South county of Maycomb during the 1930s. Scout and her brother Jem witness the struggles of their father, Atticus Finch, a lawyer working to defend a black man accused of a crime he didn't commit. This coming-of-age classic of American literature tackles themes of racial injustice, discrimination, and childhood innocence. It also provides a thought-provoking look at the legal system and its potential for both good and evil. In 1962, the novel was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film starring Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch. "To Kill a Mockingbird" was originally published by J. B. Lippincott & Co., but the audio version was first published by Caedmon. It's one of America's best books and offers new generations a powerful and timeless message about fighting for what is right. It's a must-read for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider.
