Monroeville


  • Type: Town

It is and it isn't autobiographical. For instance, there is not an incident in it that is factual.... What I did present as exactly as I could were the clime and tone, as I remember them, of the town in which I lived. Nelle Harper Lee
Oh I do wish I could have some butterbeans. Now! This very minute. Truman Capote
