(2) 4-6 Truman, an eccentric Little Lord Fauntleroy aspirant, and Nelle, a feisty girl, strike up an unlikely and unshakable friendship in Depression-era Monroeville, Alabama. Set against the backdrop of the early-twentieth-century South, this fictional account of the childhood bond between Harper Lee and Truman Capote will entertain readers on its own merits, but it also serves as a love letter to two cultural icons.
