Harper Lee: Gregarious for a day
"With more than 10,000,000 copies sold since it first appeared in 1960, "To Kill a Mockingbird" exists as one of the best-selling novels of all time. For decades, Ms. Lee has remained fiercely mindful of her privacy, politely but resolutely refusing to talk to the press and making only rare public appearances, in which she always declines to speak."
"Ms. Lee said she was struck by the perspective young people bring to the book. 'They always see new things in it,' she added. 'And the way they relate it to their lives now is really quite incredible.'"
She's written only one novel, and she maintains her privacy; what an unusual author. Wouldn't you love to know what makes her tick? And, doesn't she have a beautiful smile?

Hornblower at HMS Indefatigable sent the links for two essays by Harper Lee:
Love -- In Other Words
Christmas To Me.
"Just permit us to believe in you. You must."What a Christmas gift, eh? Thanks, Hornblower.
