This classic novel of racial prejudice in
small-town America has been adapted into
graphic novel format, endorsed by Harper
Lee’s estate and illustrated by British artist
Fred Fordham. Scout Finch and her older
brother Jem are catapulted from their
innocent, carefree childhood when their
father, principled lawyer Atticus Finch,
defends a black man accused of raping
a white woman. The complexities of the
story are vividly rendered in Fordham’s
artwork, without losing the moral nuance
and evocative atmosphere of Lee’s original
novel. This lively adaptation is filled with
character and empathy, and will appeal to
readers of all ages.
A beautifully crafted graphic novel adaptation of Harper Lee’s beloved American classic.
‘Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ’em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.’
A haunting portrait of race and class, innocence and injustice, hypocrisy and heroism, tradition and transformation in the Deep South of the 1930s, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird remains as important today as it was upon its initial publication in 1960, during the turbulent years of the Civil Rights movement.
Now, this most beloved and acclaimed novel is reborn for a new age as a gorgeous graphic novel. Scout, Jem, Boo Radley, Atticus Finch and the small town of Maycomb, Alabama, are all captured in vivid and moving illustrations by artist Fred Fordham.
Enduring in vision, Harper Lee’s timeless novel illuminates the complexities of human nature and the depths of the human heart with humour, unwavering honesty and a tender, nostalgic beauty. Lifetime admirers and new readers alike will be touched by this special visual edition.
