Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee

New York: Henry Holt, 2006. 4th Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 0x0x0. 4th printing. Lightly rubbed. 2006 Hard Cover. 337 pp. To Kill a Mockingbird, the twentieth-century's most widely read American novel, has sold thirty million copies and still sells a million yearly. Yet despite the book's perennial popularity, its creator, Harper Lee has become a somewhat mysterious figure. Now, after years of research, Charles J. Shields has brought to life the warmhearted, high-spirited, and occasionally hardheaded woman who gave us two of American literature's most unforgettable characters--Atticus Finch and his daughter, Scout--and who contributed (truncated) to the success of her lifelong friend Truman Capote's masterpiece, In Cold Blood.
