I would have liked to have headlined this with ‘George W Bush finally does something worthwhile’, but it wouldn’t have been unfair to Harper Lee who throughly deserves all the kudos for her novel ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ which was first published in 1960.
This book remains one of my most favoured, even through I was forced to study it for two consecutive years in high school. (I transfered schools which gave me the honour of writing numerous essays on Harper Lee’s work.)
I’m sure that you are all very familliar with the book, so here’s what The Australian has to say on the award.

I too had to study this in school, but it was one of those books that touched me and I had to have my own copy of.
