Inspired by the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee, this literary candle symbolizes truth and equality.
To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960 and was an instant success. The novel was praised for its sensitive treatment of a child’s awakening to racism and prejudice in the South. The historian Joseph Crespino explains, "In the twentieth century, To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America, and its main character, Atticus Finch, the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism."
Atticus Finch, the narrator's father, has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers. “I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks.” said Scout to Jem. We think that there shouldn't be anything else to it. In the United States, it is widely read in high schools and middle schools, translated into 40 languages and sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. Aside from being one of the most important works of modern literature, this novel is warm, funny and sincere.
We named the scent for the candle "One Kind of Folks".
It is a fresh take on a classic Spring in the South scent. Blooming cherry blossoms are infused with magnolia and rose, while subtle hints of tonka bean, and sandalwood add depth to this ozonic and airy fragrance. The fragile beauty of springtime contrasts well with the novel's main character - Scout. She doesn't agree to be treated as a delicate creature prepped for marriage. She is intelligent and strong. Brave and honest.
