To Kill a Mockingbird: Study Guide

for Pearson Edexcel International GCSE English Literature

After winning the Pulitzer Prize, selling over 40 million copies worldwide and being voted ‘Best Novel of the Century’ in 1999, To Kill a Mockingbird’s popularity continues to this day. This comprehensive guide offers targeted, detailed notes and analysis to lead students through the novel and help them to ‘climb into’ the skin of mockingbirds Tom Robinson and Boo Radley and ‘walk around in it’.

I really like the chapter analysis and activities. These are excellent revision resources and can be used instantly which is exactly what every teacher wants
