ON HARPER LEE'S BOOKSHELF

Emma
Jane Austen, 1816

The Weir of Hermiston
Robert Louis Stevenson, 1896
In this unfinished novel, the battle between good and evil is played out between father and son.


Tales from Shakespeare
Charles Lamb, 1807
Written in the early 19th century, these tales form an introduction to Shakespeare's greatest plays. They aim to convey his wit, wisdom and humanity, without losing the feel of his language.
