Mockingbird author makes rare appearance
Harper Lee, the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning To Kill A Mockingbird, has made a rare personal appearance to receive the Los Angeles Public Library Literary Award.
To Kill A Mockingbird, published in 1960, was Lee's first book and she has not published another since.
The coming-of-age story explores racial prejudice in the American South and was made into a film, starring Gregory Peck and Brock Peters, in 1962.
Peck's widow, Veronique, and Peters also attended the Los Angeles Public Library's awards dinner.
