Harper Lee – To Kill a Mockingbird – First Edition 1960

A first edition of this classic piece of 20th-century American literature, published in 1960 and a winner of the Pulitzer Prize.

Set in Alabama, the novel deals with racial inequality and centres around the heroic figure of lawyer Atticus Finch. It was immediately successful after release, and continues to be a set text in US schools and further afield.

This was Harper Lee’s only novel until the publication of Go Set a Watchman in 2015.

This is the first printing of the first UK edition, published by Heinemann in 1960, at the same time as the first US edition.
