Something fishy about Harper Lee

The arrival of a previously unknown first version of the novel that became the inestimable "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee is a bit stinky. It seems unlikely in the extreme that she did not know of the books existence and if she had wanted to publish it she has had nearly 50 years to do so and didn't. She has had a stroke and her sister who guarded her estate recently died. How fortuitous then that this previously "missing" manuscript has come to light now.

"It's a gift" says the head of Harper Collins - yeah it sure is...

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

That's my thought on the subject at any rate
