Harper Seven Beckham boosts sales of Harper Lee's 'To Kill A Mockingbird'

Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird

After David Beckham announced on his Facebook page that his baby girl, Harper Seven, was named after To Kill A Mockingbird novelist Harper Lee, sales of the book have gone through the roof.

Sales of Harper Lee's famed book have increased with a whopping 123 percent, causing the book to rise to number 38 in the Bestseller List.

Some people are surprised as to Harper Lee being Victoria's favourite author. Apparently there's still a widespread idea that Victoria doesn't read any books. According to the Daily Mail Victoria said in an interview six years ago, that she does read, however, she rarely has the time to finish a book due to her busy schedule, making To Kill A Mockingbird a happy exception to the rule.

David also tweeted a photo of his new kicks. He tweeted, "Check out my boots for the Real Madrid match. A little extra stitching needed from now on...." LA Galaxy lost from Real Madrid 4-1, but that won't ruin David's spirit. Earlier this week he confirmed that Harper was, indeed, inspired by To Kill A Mockingbird author Harper Lee, Victoria's favourite writer. David posted on his Facebook page, "A lot of thought goes into our children's names and Harper was a name that we've loved for a long time for a couple of reasons. One reason is Harper's an old English name which we loved and one of the other reasons was Victoria's favourite book is To Kill A Mockingbird an the author was Harper Lee. It's a very strong, passionate book. That's where Harper came from."
