This writer seems born with compassion, which is rare in the young.” PHYLLIS MCGINLEY TO KILL A Mockingbird BY HARPER LEE that rare literary phenomenon, a Southern novel with no mildew on its magnolia leaves. Funny, happy, and written with un-spectacular precision, To KILL A MOCKING-BIRD is about conscience-how it is instilled in two children, Scout and Jem Finch; how it operates in their father, Atticus, a lawyer appointed to defend a Negro on a rape charge; and how conscience grows in their small Ala-bama town.” -VOGUE “…. all of the tactile brilliance and none of the preciosity generally supposed to be standard swamp-warfare issue for Southern writers… Novelist Lee’s prose has an edge that cuts through cant, and she teaches the reader an astonishing number of useful truths about little girls and about Southern life… Scout Finch is fiction’s most appealing child since Carson McCullers’ Frankie got left be-hind at the wedding.” -TIME MAGAZINE Jacket design by Shirley Smith Thirteenth Printing $3.95 ;
