Check out cover for Harper Lee’s new novel

The cover art (above) for “Go Set a Watchman,” the recently uncovered sequel to Harper Lee’s iconic “To Kill a Mockingbird” was released today by HarperCollins.

Lee originally wrote the novel in the 1950s about a young woman, Scout Finch, who travels from New York back to her childhood home in Maycomb, Alabama, to visit her father, Atticus. Her editor was more interested in the novel’s flashbacks to Scout’s childhood, which Lee turned into “To Kill a Mockingbird.” The manuscript for “Go Set a Watchman” was long thought to be lost until recently discovered by Lee’s lawyer.

The cover, designed by Jarrod Taylor in the Harper Art Department at HarperCollins, features an approaching train—Scout’s mode of transport from New York to Maycomb—and a sparsely leafed tree on a blue background. Although set in an entirely different color scheme, the cover is beautifully reminiscent of the cover art for the first printing of “To Kill a Mockingbird” in 1960.

The excitement over the sequel’s discovery and publishing has been tempered with accusations of elder abuse and manipulation of Lee, 88, a notoriously reclusive figure whose Pulitzer Prize-winning story remained her only published book for over 50 years. Investigations into the accusations are being explored by the state of Alabama, according to the New York Times.

The book will be available July 14 and is currently available for pre-order through Auntie’s Bookstore, as well as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
