From even before the time of her death in 1949, Margaret Mitchell, the petite author of Gone With the Wind, like all instant celebrities, faced the scrutiny of the media. As early as 1936, when Gone With the Wind was published, the celebrity spotlight insisted on giving Miss Mitchell a notoriety she did not cherish, for she was an extremely private person. Credited with many personality characteristics she never had in life, she quickly became something of a legend. After her death, the legend grew by leaps and bounds, and some published accounts of her life so strained the actual events and truth, that Miss Mitchell has emerged as something her friends never knew and would not recognize. She is quoted as saying things to friends which she never said and doing things she never did, given deep-seated psychological motivations which never evidenced themselves in her life. It is the Margaret Mitchell of Atlanta legend which Letters from Margaret hopes to help erase. A highly personal correspondence, the letters were written to the Granberrys as her closest friends outside of Atlanta. They show a person who, as Edwin Granberry said, was "one of the brightest, the most scintillating, and most compassionate spirits we have ever known" ¾ a normal human being interacting with her family, friends, and the world around her as she was increasingly submerged in the fame surrounding Gone With the Wind. The letters reveal no new startling aspects of Margaret's life, but, rather, open a window into the humanity and strength of her character. The letters were kept by Edwin Granberry until his death in 1988, with the instructions that it was important they should see the light of day in order to counter the Margaret Legend, but that this should not be done until Miss Mitchell had been gone for at least 50 years. Now, 52 years after Margaret's death, the letters are being given to the reading public.

Atlanta writer Margaret Mitchell (1900-1949) wrote Gone with the Wind (1936), one of the best-selling novels of all time. The Pulitzer Prize-winning novel was the basis of the 1939 film, the first movie to win more than five Academy Awards. Margaret Mitchell did not publish another novel after Gone with the Wind. Supporting the troops during World War II, assisting African-American students financially, serving in the American Red Cross, selling stamps and bonds, and helping others--usually anonymously--consumed her. This book reveals little-known facts about this altruistic woman. The Margaret Mitchell Encyclopedia documents Mitchell's work, her life, her impact on Atlanta, the city's memorials to her, her residences, details of her death, information about her family, the establishment of the Margaret Mitchell House against great odds, and her relationships with the Daughters of the Confederacy and the Junior League.

One month after her novel Gone With the Wind was published, Margaret Mitchell sold the movie rights for fifty thousand dollars. Fearful of what the studio might do to her story--"I wouldn't put it beyond Hollywood to have . . . Scarlett seduce General Sherman," she joked--the author washed her hands of involvement with the film. However, driven by a maternal interest in her literary firstborn and compelled by her Southern manners to answer every fan letter she received, Mitchell was unable to stay aloof for long. In this collection of her letters about the 1939 motion picture classic, readers have a front-row seat as the author watches the Dream Factory at work, learning the ins and outs of filmmaking and discovering the peculiarities of a movie-crazed public. Her ability to weave a story, so evident in Gone With the Wind, makes for delightful reading in her correspondence with a who's who of Hollywood, from producer David O. Selznick, director George Cukor, and screenwriter Sidney Howard, to cast members Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard, Olivia de Havilland and Hattie McDaniel. Mitchell also wrote to thousands of others--aspiring actresses eager to play Scarlett O'Hara; fellow Southerners hopeful of seeing their homes or their grandmother's dress used in the film; rabid movie fans determined that their favorite star be cast; and creators of songs, dolls and Scarlett panties who were convinced the author was their ticket to fame and fortune. During the film's production, she corrected erring journalists and the producer's over-the-top publicist who fed the gossip mills, accuracy be damned. Once the movie finished, she struggled to deal with friends and strangers alike who "fought and trampled little children and connived and broke the ties of lifelong friendship" to get tickets to the premiere. But through it all, she retained her sense of humor. Recounting an acquaintance's denial of the rumor that the author herself was going to play Scarlett, Mitchell noted he "ungallantly stated that I was something like fifty years too old for the part." After receiving numerous letters and phone calls from the studio about Belle Watling's accent, the author related her father was "convulsed at the idea of someone telephoning from New York to discover how the madam of a Confederate bordello talked." And in a chatty letter to Gable after the premiere, Mitchell coyly admitted being "feminine enough to be quite charmed" by his statement to the press that she was "fascinating," but added: "Even my best friends look at me in a speculative way--probably wondering what they overlooked that your sharp eyes saw!" As Gone With the Wind marks its seventy-fifth anniversary on the silver screen, these letters, edited by Mitchell historian John Wiley, Jr., offer a fresh look at the most popular motion picture of all time through the eyes of the woman who gave birth to Scarlett.

Miss Mitchell writes to Alfred Jackson Hanna about the publication of his book "Flight into oblivion," 1938; to Mrs. Laurence Tarr denying the rumor that she wrote "Gone with the wind" while convalescing and to Evelina Porter Doggett declining to write a biography of Mrs. Doggett's father Fitz-John Porter.
