20世纪30年代，大萧条时期美国南部的一个小镇，三个孩子平静的生活被两桩冤案打破。传闻与事实，坚强与软弱，正义与邪恶，忠诚与背叛，他们在痛苦与矛盾中艰难地拨开生活的重重迷雾，见证了人性的污秽与光辉，理解了真相的残忍与无奈，也感受了人间的温暖与真情。

'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 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 thirties. 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.
