American novel, for her volumi-
nous novel had been translated
into 30 languages. and only the
Bible was outselling 1t.
Thus it was that a book the
author published with reluctance
became her life work from that
day on. For Miss Mitchell, with
singular purposefulness. stuck to
her early resolution never to write
another book.
Whatever her reason at the
start, it soon became apparent that
Miss Mitchell had created an in
stitution with Gone With the
Wind" that would occupy the rest
of her days.
First it was the movie version,
a four-hour epic with Vivien
Leigh and Clark Gable in the
starring roles. and then the myr-
lad details of production as the
book continued its amazing sales
here and abroad.

Prize for fiction, the American
Booksellers Association selection

the Carl Bohenberger Memorial
Award and many other distinc-

and the book.
Miss Mitchell's success story is
even more striking against the
background. Of circumstances i'm

Miss Mitchell's feeling for the Old
South was the genuine article. She
went TO Washington Seminary
there and later to Smith College

degree from the latter for he1

For four years she lent her bud
ding writing genius to the Atlanta
Journal as reporter and feature

writing job that would bring her
fame and fortune. Mr.. Marsh
gave her encouragement. the bad

through the South on talent
scouting tour. In Atlanta. he ran
upon Miss Mitchell and her manu-
script. Reluctant to turn 1t over
to the publisher. Miss Mitchell
finally was persuaded by her hus-
band to do so.
Miss Mitchell was not in the
public prints a great deal after
her big success. She preferred to
live quietly on famous Peachtree
street in Atlanta, choosing a five
room apartment over the popular
conception of the mansion an
author of her stature should in
