Brilliant companion to novel and film. I was excited when I bought it, 75p in a charity shop because it seems a difficult book to obtain nowadays. It was wonderful to have an insight of the writing of the book and observations on the making of the film. I adore this book and is a perfect asset to a GWTW maniac such as myself. I can't believe I considered not buying it. I have no regrets in purchasing such a fine book composed of letters by a woman who has changed my life and written one of my all time favourite books, which was also turned into one one of my all time favourite movies, with some of my all time favourite actors in it!

I loved this. It's a collection of letters written by Margaret Mitchell which answer the questions of both the process of both the creation of 'Gone With the Wind' and why it was her only book.

She has the tenacity of Scarlet but her personality seems to be Melanie incarnate, which is a surprise. She was very against sequels and the like with GWTW and judging from 'Scarlet' and 'Rhett Butler's people she was right to do so.
