To Kill A Mockingbird October 12, 2011

The characters of Atticus Finch, Scout and Boo Radley have become iconic figures in the American consciousness and conscience. Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is considered one of the most important works of the 20th century, and it is a must for every new generation. The story's enduring spell stems in part from the juxtaposition of the simple, yet astute innocence of a child's point of view in the face of terrible and terribly complex adult problems and biases.
