Gone With the Wind - Margaret Mitchell - Recorded Books #96052 0-7887-4976-5 Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for
Literature, Margaret Mitchell’s great novel of the South is one of the most
popular books ever written. Within six months of its publication in 1936, Gone
With the Wind had sold a million copies. To date, it has been translated into 25
languages, and more than 28 million copies have been sold. Here are the
characters that have become symbols of passion and desire: darkly handsome Rhett
Butler and flirtatious Scarlett O’Hara. Behind them stand their gentler
counterparts: Ashley Wilkes and Melanie Hamilton. As the lives and affairs of

With the Wind reaches dramatic heights that have swept generations of fans off
their feet. Having lived in Atlanta for many years, narrator Linda Stephens has
an authentic ear for the dialects of that region. Get ready to hear Gone With
the Wind exactly as it was written: every word beautifully captured in a
spectacular unabridged audio production. |
