Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin. 

One of the greatest American novels ever written.

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 falsely charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to 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 of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.

Beautiful narration

It was my first audio book and what a fantastic book and story i chose. It was as if I was physically present and all along traveling between landing to finchs’s place to courtroom to school. Thanks to Ms. Spacek for excellent narration and being true to emotions.

a true coming of age story

it takes the purest form of innocence, a child's innocence, to hold a mirror to the irrationality of adults. This coming of age story is the best I've read so far. the story is beautifully written and the narration exquisite. it transports you back in time so you can almost see the events unfold right in front of your eyes, at the leisurely pace of a country life. it shows you the world as seen from the innocent eyes of children and takes you on a journey of exploration and growing understanding of the biased world they live in as they ask some very uncomfortable and pertinent qs which hold as true today as in any time and in any community of people.

Worthy narration for a timeless classic

I read the book a couple of years back, and fell in love with the storyline and the characters instantly. Decided to revisit it in an audiobook format, and must say I'm not dissapointed! Sissy's southern accent was a bit of a challenge for my Indian ear initially, however after a couple chapters I got accustomed to it and started enjoying it. Her narration brought life to the characters, and completely justified the setting and the era.
