Expert says documents thought to possibly be another unseen story are from an early version of her most famous book
The “mysterious pages of text” discovered in a safe deposit box in Alabama that Harper Lee’s lawyer had suggested could be a further novel by the author are actually typescripts of To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman, a rare books expert has said.
In July, Lee’s lawyer Tonja Carter had laid out the details of her discovery of Go Set A Watchman, the novel written by Lee before To Kill a Mockingbird but put aside until it was found by Carter last year, and published this summer. Carter wrote in July in the Wall Street Journal that she found the manuscript for Go Set a Watchman in Lee’s safe deposit box in her home town of Monroeville. She added that it also contained what appeared to be the original Mockingbird manuscript as well as “a stack of a significant number of pages of another typed text”.
