In 1960, Harper Lee published her first novel, the internationally renowned and best selling To Kill A Mockingbird. The novel deals with the then-controversial themes of racism, rape, as well as America’s own flawed legal system, and further involves exploration of class and gender roles in the south of the United States (specifically within the fictionalised Maycomb County). Partially based on her own personal upbringing, the novel initially received a mixed reception but ultimately went onto to become a worldwide sensation. It has been adapted in many formats over the years, with the Oscar-winning 1962 film version (starring Gregory Peck) perhaps being the most famous incarnation of the story.

I’m pretty sure that nearly every child, and nearly every adult, knows, or knows of, Clifford the Big Red Dog. Sadly, the author of the famed books, Norman Bridwell, passed away last Friday, at the age of 86. His most famous works were the Clifford, the Big Red Dog books.  Sadly, he is not the first children’s author we’ve lost this year. Eric Hill, the author of the Spot the Dog books, passed away earlier in the year.
