Irish people are thanking Harper Lee for making their Junior Cert enjoyable
TODAY, WE SADLY lost author Harper Lee. The To Kill A Mocking Bird scribe died aged 89.
Lee won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel about racism in the deep south in 1961, and actor Gregory Peck picked up a Best Actor Oscar for the 1962 film.
