To Kill a mocking bird - Synopsis of entire Novel.

Scout tells us about her ancestors who originally fled England to escape religious persecution and they established a large farm on the banks of the Alabama River called Finch’s Landing. The family was farmers for a hundred years until Atticus became a lawyer in Maycomb while his sister, Alexandra, ran the farm.

At the start of the story, Scout is aged 6. Scout’s mother had died four years previously and their cook, an old black woman called Calpurnia, helps to bring up the two siblings.

An odd boy named Charles Baker Harris, known as Dill, moves in next door for the summer to stay with his aunt, Miss Rachel Haverford. Dill’s parents are getting divorced and he is reluctant to talk about this taboo subject, but is very talkative about everything else. Coupled with his intelligence, he soon becomes friends with Scout and Jem. Their main curiosity over the summer months is the Radley house, in particular one of its strange occupants, Arthur

The next day they decide that Dill can stay in Maycomb for the rest of the summer.

All in all, this is a very confusing time for Scout.
