To kill a mockingbird

Graphic novel To Kill a Mockingbird is a good display of society in the American South in the thirties of the previous century. The main characters from Maycomb Alabama are depicted in touching illustrations by Fred Fordham. Scout, her older brother Jem and a friend Dill are spending their holidays in research of a story about the mysterious neighbour Arthur Boo Ridley. Simultaneously the story of Scout’s and Jem’s father Atticus, a lawyer, who is in the traditional society of the American South defending the coloured Tom Robinson takes place. The classical novel is beautifully presented in a comic-book that shows the complexity of human nature and the depth of a human heart with humour, sincerity and gentleness.
