The first translation into Latin of one of the world's greatest books. This translation of 'To Kill A Mockingbird' is suitable for students at any level of proficiency in Latin and allows readers to discover one of the classics of world literature while learning Latin.
A classic of race and class conflict in the Deep South of 1930's America, To Kill A Mockingbird is as powerfully resonant today as when it was first published in the 1960's.

Atticus Finch defends a black man charged with the rape of a white girl, while we see the world of the American South in the 1930s through the innocent eyes of Scout and Jem Finch. In understanding the racial injustice of her town, Scout gains a new awareness of kindness and cruelty and leaves her childhood behind.
Andrew Wilson's translation is suitable for students of any ability. His use of Latin vocabulary reflects the subtlety of Harper Lee's writing while providing an exciting new way to learn the language.
