'Shoot all the Bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember
it's a sin to kill a Mockingbird.'
Atticus Finch gives this advice to his children as he defends the real
mockingbird of this classic novel - a black man charged with
attacking a white girl. Through the eyes of Scout and Jem Finch,
Lee explores the issues of race and class in the Deep South of the
1930s with compassion and humour. She also creates one of the
great heroes of literature in their father, whose lone struggle for
justice pricks the conscience of a town steeped in prejudice and
hypocrisy.
