None of my Kiwi or Brit friends had heard of it. <br /><br />It is interesting that you get it assigned in school, too. The story is so rooted in American history, but I suppose one of the reasons I love it is that it transcends its time and place.Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-56286234234239013112010-11-29T14:31:35.241-08:002010-11-29T14:31:35.241-08:00Really - I think most people would have heard of A...Really - I think most people would have heard of Atticus Finch.<br /><br />To Kill a Mockingbird has been set as a school text here in Australia for years.
