Short Audiobook Review: Harper Lee's splendid early stories

 The Land of Sweet Forever, by Harper Lee (Harper)

I listened to the audio version of this compilation of Lee's early short fiction and later nonfiction, splendidly narrated by Ellen Burstyn, who is a marvelous actress and perfectly captures Lee’s authorial “voice.” This book is a collection of Lee’s early short fiction and later nonfiction pieces. The stories are explorations of characters, settings, and narrative style that later became To Kill A Mockingbird. They are witty, richly detailed, and courageous. Every one of them is, in its unique fashion, a gem.

Highly recommended.
