Essays and early stories by To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee will be published this fall.
The Land of Sweet Eternity includes Lee's short stories written before the publication of her classic novel in 1960, as well as essays completed between 1961 and 2006.
Harper, a division of HarperCollins Publishers, will release the book on October 21.
The book, “The Land of Sweet Eternity,” will include an introduction written by Lee's authorized biographer, Casey Sep.
“As a member of Harper Lee's family, I know I speak for all of us when I say that we are delighted that these essays, and especially the short stories that we knew existed but were only recently discovered, have been found and are being published,” the late writer's nephew, Dr. Edwin Conner, said in a statement Tuesday.
“She was not just our beloved aunt, but a great American writer, and we will never know too much about how she got to that point,” he said.
Lee, who died in 2016 at age 89, did not publish another full-length book after To Kill a Mockingbird.
In 2015, she approved the publication of Go Set a Watchman, an early draft of Mockingbird.
