To Kill a Mockingbird was a prequel

#1 Post by Bob78164 » Tue Feb 03, 2015 5:51 pm

Before writing To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee wrote another story, set in the same town approximately 20 years later with many of the same characters. The manuscript of Go Set a Watchman was recently rediscovered and is scheduled to be published later this year. --Bob

Do you think Truman Capote helped her write any of these two books?

They said he helped with TKAM but the extent of that help has never been defined.
