About the Author

Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926, in Monroeville, Alabama. Her first name is Nelle - her grandmother’s name spelled backward - but when To Kill a Mockingbird, her first novel, was ready for publication, she opted for the name “Harper Lee” on the cover, because she didn’t want to be misidentified as “Nellie.”

Lee was unprepared for the amount of personal attention associated with writing a bestseller. Ever since, she has led a quiet and guardedly private life in New York.
