Physical description; xx, 326 pages ; 25 cm. Summary; "An extensively revised and updated edition of the bestselling biography of Harper Lee, reframed from the perspective of the recent publication of Lee's Go Set a Watchman To Kill a Mockingbird--the twentieth century's most widely read American novel--has sold thirty million copies and still sells a million yearly. In this in-depth biography, first published in 2006, Charles J. Shields brings to life the woman who gave us two of American literature's most unforgettable characters, Atticus Finch and his daughter, Scout. Years after its initial publication--with revisions throughout the book and a new epilogue--Shields finishes the story of Harper Lee's life, up to its end. There's her former agent getting her to transfer the copyright for To Kill a Mockingbird to him, the death of Lee's dear sister Alice, a fuller portrait of Lee's editor, Tay Hohoff, and--most vitally--the release of Lee's long-buried first novel and the ensuing public devouring of what has truly become the book of the year, if not the decade: Lee's Go Set a Watchman."

"Shields is a scrupulous journalist who respects [Lee's] privacy even as he opens up her life. This biography will not disappoint those who loved the novel and the feisty, independent, fiercely loyal Scout in whom Harper Lee put so much of herself." - Garrison Keillor, The New York Times Book Review "Admirable.Mockingbird makes the reader look at Harper Lee with new and respectful eyes." - USA Today "Shields does a fine job of re-creating Lee's inspiration for To Kill a Mockingbird.her childhood neighborhood, its characters and the dynamic of her family itself." - Los Angeles Times "To Kill a Mockingbird - the twentieth century's most widely read American novel - has sold 30 million copies and still sells a million yearly. But the book's author, Harper Lee, has become a somewhat mysterious figure. Now, after years of research, Charles J. Shields brings to life the warmhearted, high-spirited, and occasionally hardheaded woman who gave us two of American literature's most unforgettable characters - Atticus Finch and his daughter, Scout. At the center of Shield's evocative, lively book is the story of Lee's struggle to create her famous novel, but her colorful life contains many highlights - her girlhood as a tomboy in overalls in tiny Monroeville, Alabama; the murder trial that made her beloved father's reputation and inspired her great work; her journey to Kansas as Truman Capote's ally and research assistant to help report the story of In Cold Blood. Highly entertaining, filled with humor and heart, Mockingbird is an affectionate portrait of a writer, her dream, and the place and people she made immortal." - from the rear outer cover.
