The narrator of To Kill a Mockingbird is Jean Louise ‘Scout’ Finch who lives with her brother Jem and widowed father who is a lawyer in the Alabama town of Maycomb. The story covers three consecutive summers and at the start of the tale Scout is aged six. During the first summer they befriend a boy named Dill and the three children act out stories together and they become fascinated with the occupants of the run-down, eerie Radley house. Nathan Radley owns the house and his brother Arthur ‘Boo’ Radley has not been seen leaving the house in years. It is Scout’s first year at school and she hates it. She would prefer to stay at home and be taught by her father, but this is against the law. Outside the Radley property is a tree with a knothole and Scout and Jem start to find gifts, which have been placed there. The next summer Dill returns and they start to act out what they think is the ‘Boo Radley story’. Atticus puts a stop to their mischievous play, but they are compelled to find out more about Boo Radley and Nathan shoots at the three of them as they sneak back to the house in the dark.
