To Kill A Mockingbird: Enhanced Edition Audiobook (Free)

‘Shoot all of the bluejays you desire, if you can strike ’em, but remember it’s a sin to eliminate a mockingbird.’

A lawyer’s advice to his kids as he defends the true mockingbird of Harper Lee’s vintage novel – a dark man charged with the rape of a white gal. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult behaviour to competition and class in the Deep South from the thirties. The conscience of a city steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is definitely pricked by the stamina of 1 man’s struggle for justice. However the pounds of history will only tolerate so much.

To Eliminate a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical theatre of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern composing tradition. Out right now as an unabridged audiobook, narrated by Sissy Spacek.
