To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a classic novel set in the 1930s American South, exploring themes of racial injustice, morality and empathy.

Through Scout’s coming-of-age journey, the story exposes the deep-seated racism of their community and highlights the importance of understanding and compassion.
