《To Kill a Mockingbird》是Harper Lee出版於一九六○年的小說，隔年就獲得普立茲獎，在一九六二年被拍成電影，當中飾演主角的影星葛蕾哥萊畢克，便此片奪得奧斯卡最佳男演員獎，該書主要背景是在美國經濟大蕭條的時代，當時也是種族歧視相當盛行的時代，故事發生在小鎮梅崗城，白人Ewell控告黑人Tom，強暴了他的女兒。主角也就是律師Atticus被法院指定為其辯護，雖然Tom是無罪的，不過傳統對於有色人種的偏見蒙蔽了這些全部由白種人組成的陪審團，因此宣判仍有罪，不過Tom在移送的過程中逃跑，雖然還是被射殺不過Ewell仍對律師Atticus為黑人辯護耿耿於懷，因此他企圖暗殺律師的兩個小孩，其中一位就是書中以口述的第一人稱為主角的八歲小女孩Scout。書中的主角與人物都有複雜的個性，與人性的探討，讓這本小說可以說是美國文學史上的經典作品，也是許多學校的必讀書籍。

A beautifully crafted graphic novel adaptation of Harper Lee’s beloved, Pulitzer prize–winning 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, Gem, 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 humor, unwavering honesty, and a tender, nostalgic beauty. Lifetime admirers and new readers alike will be touched by this special visual edition that joins the ranks of the graphic novel adaptations of A Wrinkle in Time and The Alchemist.
