Margaret Mitchell's famous novel, Gone With The Wind, was first published in June 1936. The Civil War saga narrates the story of a Scarlett O'Hara, the spoilt child of a white plantation owner. It was nearly titled 'Tomorrow is another day', after the heroine's famous last line. Other titles rejected were 'Bugles Sang True' and 'Not In Our Stars'. Even Scarlett was nearly called Pansy in the initial draft. The novel has been a favourite with Americans ever since it was first printed, second only, in sales, to the Bible. It won the Pulitzer prize and was adapted into a sucessful movie, but, "frankly my dear", it was the only book that Margaret Mitchell ever published during her lifetime. |
