Description

Harper Lee on To Kill a Mockingbird—"Its continuing success is something of a mystery to me"

TLS, one page, 5.75 x 7.75, January 7, 1992. Written from Monroeville, Alabama, a letter to Raymond M. Beck, in full: "Thank you for the card and your most kind letter. As you may see, 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, and one for which I am deeply thankful. The novel does seem to have a life of its own, in a brand new world, and its continuing success is something of a mystery to me." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
