Nelle Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926, in Monroeville, Alabama. As a child, Harper Lee was a tomboy (假小子). She fought on the playground. She talked back to teachers, and she was bored with school. In high school Lee was lucky enough to have a gifted English teacher, Gladys Watson Burkett, who made her fall in love with literature and taught her h ow to write well. There Lee loved nineteenth­century British authors best, and once said that her dream was to become “the Jane Austen of South Alabama”．After leaving high school, she went to the University of Alabama. There she found a second home on the campus newspaper. Eventually she became editor­in­chief of the Rammer Jammer, a quarterly humor magazine on campus. She entered the law school, but she loathed it. Despite her father's hope that she would become a local attorney (律师) like her sister Alice, Lee went to New York for her writing.

She spent eight years working small jobs before she finally showed a manuscript (手稿) to Tay Hohoff, an editor at J．B. Lippincott. At this point, it was more like a string of stories than the novel that Lee wanted to write. Under Hohoff's guidance, two and a half years of rewriting followed. Finally the novel was ready for publication.

To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960 to highly favorable reviews and quickly climbed the bestseller lists, where it remained for eighty­eight weeks. In 1961, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize. To Kill a Mockingbird has sold more than thirty million copies in eighteen languages. In 2011, President Obama awarded Nelle Harper Lee the National Medal of Arts.
