Publishing house HarperCollins has confirmed that the Pulitzer Prize-winning US classic To Kill a Mockingbird will appear as an e-book this summer.

Lee, who turned 88 Monday, said she was "amazed and humbled that Mockingbird has survived this long."
"I'm still old-fashioned. I love dusty old books and libraries," added the reclusive writer who lives in her native Alabama.
"This is Mockingbird for a new generation."
The electronic version will be available as a straight text e-book and as one that is enhanced with extra exclusive content, according to a HarperCollins statement.
Digital audio will be narrated by actress Sissy Spacek.
