LEE, HARPER. To Kill A Mockingbird. New York: Harper, 1999. Fortieth Anniversary Edition with a New Foreword by the Author. Signed by actress Mary Badham, who played Scout Finch in the classic motion picture adaptation, with a quotation handwritten out by Ms. Badham of her dialogue from the film: “Well, it would be like shooting a mockingbird wouldn’t it?”’ Scout Finch - Mary Badham.” The line is spoken by Scout towards the end of the film when Sherriff Tate and Atticus (Gregory Peck) agree that Boo Radley should not be brought forth for killing Bob Ewell while Radley was defending Scout and her brother as Ewell was attacking them. Atticus asks her if she understands why they are doing this, and with her growing awareness and maturity she replies with the above line. Laid in is a color photograph of Ms. Badham holding this book. Mary Badham gave one of the finest performances by a child in motion picture history and she was nominated for an Academy Award. Both the novel and the film are told through the eyes of Scout making this book a very charming piece with the signed quotation. With a first edition costing many thousands of dollars, this book would be an excellent selection for gift giving. Hardcover. As new in an as new dust jacket.
