What are some stories that were told about Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Jem and Scout got most of their stories from from Miss
Stephanie Crawford. Among them:


  • Boo peeped in
    windows at night.

  • He breathed on azaleas during cold
    snaps, causing them to die.

  • He was accused of killing and
    mutilating animals.

  • He poisoned the pecans that grew in
    his back yard but fell in the schoolyard.

  • He was accused
    of unsolved "stealthy" crimes.

  • He joined other boys in
    stealing Mr. Conner's "flivver," and locking him in the courthouse
    outhouse.

  • He was charged with disorderly conduct,
    disturbing the police, assault and battery, and using abusive language in the presence
    of a female.

  • He stabbed his father in the leg with
    scissors.

  • He mended Jem's pants after he lost them on the
    Radley fence.

  • He put a blanket around Scout's shoulders
    on the night of Miss Maudie's house fire.

  • He left
    presents for Jem and Scout in the knothole of the
    tree.
