Thanks, but I was wondering if there was anything more specific about what the editor's problem was with the ms., beyond just thinking that the childhood scenes were the most interesting. Did it strike the editor as too harsh? Too political and/or inflammatory for the time? Too angry and negative?

To Kill a Mockingbird is so much gentler and more hopeful.
