what a great read!
went to Monroeville, Alabama to see the courthouse and town from "to kill a mockingbird" and saw the exhibit for Truman Capote inside the courthouse. didn't realize he grew up next door to Harper Lee. his story was fascinating and the book relates some of his early experiences with his beloved cousin. truly heart warming. i highly recommend it.

A Note about the Edition

NOTE: I inadvertently ordered this "Tale Blazers" edition.

If you're only interested in the text, you can find the story online. But for a more pleasurable reading experience, I recommend the illustrated edition.

The only fault with this little book is just that. It's so short and suddenly...it's over. Fun to read but somewhat of a disappointment considering the other works of the author
