Synopsis

"To KILL A MOCKINGBIRD BY HARPER LEE, NARRATED BY SALLY DURLING, COPYRIGHT 1960 BY HARPER LEE, P COPYRIGHT 1988 RECORDED BOOKS INC., UNABRIDGED 9 AUDIO CASSETTES, 13.5 HOURS." "Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square. People moved slowly then. They ambled across the squre, shuffled in and out of the stores around it, took their time about everything. A day was twenty-four hours long but seemed longer. There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with. We lived on the main residential street in town - Atticus, Jem and I, plus Calpumia our cook. When enough years had gone by to enable us to look back on them, we sometimes discussed the events leading to my brother's accident when he was nearly thirteen. I maintain that the Ewells started it, but Jem said it began the summer Dill came to us, when Dill first gave us the idea of making Boo Radley come out..." First published in 1960, To Kill a Mockingbird was an instant best-seller. In 1961 it won its author a Pulitzer prize and later became an Academy Award winning film. With over 13 million copies in print in 10 different languages the book is generally regarded as a masterpiece of American literature. "Miss Lee wonderfully builds the tranquil atmosphere of her Southern town, and as adroitly causes it to erupt a shocking lava of emotions." San Francisco Examiner "Sally Darline, narrator of this unabridged Recorded Book, grew up in a small Virginia town of 7,000 people that has since disappeared. Back then, kids went everywhere, she says. "There was always someone to locate you, to keep an eye on you. To walk downtown was to say 'hey' continuously - 'Hay, Mr. Saunders; hey, Miz Fraley.' If you got into a scrape, word would reach home before you did. The town knew." [from back of case]
