Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, this all-time best-selling masterpiece captures the essence of growing up in a small town in the 1930s American South. Told through the voice of Scout Finch, it takes the listeners to the roots of human behavior. Scout and her brother Jem experience the pain and injustice of prejudice when their father, respected lawyer Atticus Finch, defends a black man unjustly accused of assaulting a white woman. This journey from innocence is rich and multi-layered as the children learn the power of empathy for others and the true meaning of courage. Known for her sensitive characterizations, Roses Prichard delivers a compelling rendition of heroine Scout Finch's story. Complete and unabridged. 8 cassettes.
