Description

Reclusive Harper Lee can’t understand the fuss, “ did not suspect, nor did my publishers, that the novel would be in print after more than thirty years! …The novel does seem to have a life of its own…and its continuing success is something of a mystery to me.”

Reclusive author of To Kill a Mockingbird. TLS, one page, 6 x 7.5, January 7, 1992. Letter to an admirer. In part, “One change in my life brought about by To Kill A Mockingbird is that I stay several months behind in trying to answer the mail I get. I did not suspect, nor did my publishers, that the novel would be in print after more than thirty years! Indeed it has been a humbling experience, one that not many writers share…The novel does seem to have a life of its own…and its continuing success is something of a mystery to me.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In fine condition, with a bisecting horizontal mailing fold. R&R COA.
