[Graceann · Rating 5 out of 5]

For being only 310 pages long, and very picture-heavy, this is an extremely comprehensive and informative volume on the creation of Gone with the Wind, both novel and film. An extraordinarily detailed book and hugely helpful to those of us who are interested in the details behind the story.

It begins with a short biographical sketch of Margaret Mitchell, and then goes into how the novel evolved. Those of us who know the novel fairly intimately will find the stories of how character and place names changed during the writing of it to be truly fascinating. Then Scarlett Fever discusses the off-the-charts success of the novel, and the transformation of a 1,037 page epic into a three-hour film. Even some of the smallest roles are discussed with care and attention.

As a reference this book is indispensable, and it is one that I will be going back to again and again as I re-watch the film and re-read the novel in years to come.

Probably my favorite book on the subject, it left nothing out and gave Margaret Mitchell more room than most books on the film.
