Harper Lee: To Kill A Mockingbird Author Dies
15:53, UK, Friday 19 February 2016
Harper Lee, who wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning book To Kill A Mockingbird, has died, according to publisher Random House.
Multiple sources in Lee's hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, confirmed the writer's death at the age of 89.
Random House tweeted: "Today we lost a beautiful writer. RIP Harper Lee."
For decades it was thought Lee would never follow up To Kill A Mockingbird and the July 2015 publication of Go Set A Watchman was a surprising literary event - as well as a shock for devotees of her first novel.
