<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Written when Mitchell was 16, and given to her close friend, Henry Love Angel, this captivating tale of honor, adventure, and unrequited love introduces themes and characters that would later come to full flower in "Gone With the Wind." Photos.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Until recently, the odd thought Margaret Mitchell had only one story to tell: Gone With the Wind. Now meet a heroine to match Scarlett: Courtenay Ross, a feisty, independent-minded woman, and the two men -- one a cool-headed, well-heeled gentleman, the other a hot-blooded, pugnacious sailor -- who adore her. A tale of yearning, valor, and devotion, Lost Laysen enthralls from its delightful beginning to its unforgettable end.<p>Equally intriguing is the story behind the story -- the real-life romance that inspired Mitchell: how she gave the original manuscript as a gift to her beau. Henry Love Angel, and how the manuscript, along with Mitchell's intimate letters and treasured photographs, were lovingly safeguarded only to be discovered decades later in a shoebox!<p>Lost Laysen is pure magic, a gift for us to cherish from America's most beloved storyteller.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Margaret Mitchell (1900 - 1949) was an American author and journalist. As a former newspaper reporter, she began <i>Gone with the Wind </i>in 1926. Only two people--the author and her husband--saw the manuscript before it reached the publisher. <i>Gone with the Wind</i> was awarded the National Book Award for Most Distinguished Novel of 1936 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937, and is one of the most bestselling novels of all time.
