Edition DescriptionAnniversary
Synopsis"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel--a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina and quiet heroism of one man's struggle for justice--but the weight of history will only tolerate so much.One of the best-loved classics of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has earned many dis-tinctions since its original publication in 1960. It has won the Pulitzer Prize, been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, and been made into an enormously popular movie. It was also named the best novel of the twentieth century by librarians across the country (Library Journal). HarperCollins is proud to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the book's publication with this special hardcover edition., "Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

HarperCollins is proud to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the book's publication with this special hardcover edition., The 50th anniversary edition of one of the best-loved books in American history: Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning classic To Kill a Mockingbird. Featuring some of the most memorable characters in literary history-attorney Atticus Finch, his children Scout and Jem, and of course Boo Radley-To Kill a Mockingbird is the indelible story of race, class, and growing up in the Deep South of the 1930s. To commemorate the Golden Anniversary of the "Best Novel of the 20th Century" (Library Journal poll of American librarians), filmmaker Mary Murphy has interviewed prominent figures-including Oprah, Anna Quindlen, and Tom Brokaw-on how the book has impacted their lives, and compiled the interviews in Scout, Atticus, and Boo: the perfect companion to one of the most important American books of the 20th Century.
