TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD....HARPER LEE


This very collectable book which has for many years had collectors desperately searching for undiscovered 'First Editions'(c.1960)and was made into a major Hollywood award winning movies,starring Gregory Peck,. was renowned since then as the only book written by the reclusive Harper Lee and she shared that distinction with Margaret Mitchell author of 'Gone With the Wind'.
Now at the age of 89 Harper Lee has written a new novel which is shortly to be published and already rated to be a great success.
Margaret Mitchell herself who wrote 'Gone With the Wind' in 1936 has long since passed away,having been knocked down and killed by a  motor car.(I believe in Hollywood but I am not sure)However you can read a sequel to 'Gone Withe the Wind' entitled "Scarlett" by Alexandra Ripley.Also filmed as a mini-series.
