1. Harper Lee:

   I never expected any sort of success with 'Mockingbird,' i didn't expect the book to sell in the first place. I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of reviewers, but at the same time I sort of hoped that maybe someone would like it enough to give me encouragement. Public encouragement. I hoped for a little, as I said, but I got rather a whole lot, and in some ways this was just about as frightening as the quick, merciful death I'd expected.

2. Wayne Flynt:

   I know there’s another novel because( Lee’s sister) Louise told me there was, she said Nelle( Harper Lee) worked on Auburn University for years, Auburn University was a finished work and she said Auburn University was better than' To Kill a Mockingbird.'.

3. Mary Badham:

   I think it's so timely for right now. 'Mockingbird' came at a perfect time for our country. It allowed us the ability to discuss subjects rationally and intelligently without getting way up here, and now that things are way up here with our country, I think this will help a lot.

4. Harper Lee:

   In the mid-1950s, I completed a novel called' Go Set a Watchman,' it features the character known as Scout as an adult woman, and I thought it a pretty decent effort. My editor, who was taken by the flashbacks to Scout's childhood, persuaded me to write a novel( what became' To Kill a Mockingbird') from the point of view of the young Scout.

5. Wayne Flynt:

   Her sister, Louise Conner, told me and my wife that she (Lee) finished the novel sitting at her dining room table in Eufaula, Alabama. Louise said she read it and it was far better than 'To Kill a Mockingbird' or 'In Cold Blood,' somewhere out there at least one person, her sister, says there was a book far superior to either one of those classic books.
