Harper Lee / TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD 1st Edition 1960

Description: "People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for."TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRDBy Harper Lee(1960)First UK edition of one of the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, in excellent condition.Near fine in very good plus jacket."You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." The story of tomboy Scout and her father Atticus Finch, a white lawyer who defends a Black man against a racist rape charge, takes place in a small Alabama town during the Depression. While importantly criticized as a white savior narrative, the book has been one of the most widely assigned books in US schools; it has been called "our American novel" by Oprah Winfrey, was quoted by Barack Obama in his farewell address, and inspired countless real-life civil rights lawyers - among them Charles Morgan Jr. of the ACLU, Morris Dees of the SPLC, and Shami Chakrabarti of Liberty. A book that tends to take wear, this is a beautiful copy, whose jacket design is arguably the equal to the U.S. London, Melbourne, Toronto: Heinemann, (1960). 7.75'' x 5''. Publisher's red textured boards. In original unclipped (16s) color pictorial jacket designed by Fratini. 296 pages. Book has slight lean and some minor wear to fore-edge (likely production). Jacket has mild edgewear with small closed tear at head of spine. Overall, bright and sound. Presents well.
