To Kill a Mockingbird in Blackpool

This most beloved and widely read Pulitzer Prize winner, now in it's 50th year of publication, tells the extraordinary and unforgettable story of life in the American Deep South through the enquiring eyes of a child.

Jem and Scout Finch are growing up during the 1930s depression but their idyllic childhood innocence is shattered with the realisation that bigotry and prejudice rule in their small town of Maycomb, Alabama. When their father Atticus defends a young black man falsely accused of raping a white woman, the whole family become the target of gossip and abuse. Set in America's scorching Deep South at a time when racial tensions were at an all-time high, the challenging and uncomfortable issues this classic addresses are as relevant today as they were when the book was first written.
