Atticus Finch - legend., though didn't like the book much when forced to read it for 'O' level.
Dave Beckham's daughter was named after her.

Indeed. I could be wrong but it seems to me that To Kill a Mockingbird was the origin of that child POV angle Stephen King does so well.

Only in great democracies could things such as the 'Beadle Bumble Fund' exist, which she once donated to.

I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece, tho if it were truly fictional then perhaps a masterpiece, the diffculty with one book authors is to distinguish between reality and fiction and the lines are often blurred.

It is very well written, I wonder if she had any assistance from Truman Capote?

One Book authors? Assistance?

To Kill a Mockingbird wasn't even a one author book!

McCoy's only contribution to Potter was Crispin Cronk, I think.
