Harper Lee credits "talented editor" for "Mockingbird"

84-year-old author of To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee, says a "talented editor" helped her pull together tales of her childhood to create the American masterpiece. The reclusive and self-effacing Lee will not participate in the 50th anniversary celebrations of the book's publication planned by Harper Collins. The novel was written as "a love story" to her father, she says, a small town lawyer in the U.S. South who had defended black men. Detailed USA TODAY story worth a read is linked off headline.
