Mitchell, Margaret, 1900-1949. Lost Laysen. New York: Scribner, 1996, 2d printing number line ending in 2, 127pp., good dust-jacket, light wear along top edge, good white half-cloth with green boards, BUT top edge of pages on glossy paper slightly wavy. A love triangle in the South Pacific is the plot of this recently discovered short novel by the author of Gone with the Wind, written when she was 16 years old. The book also contains intimate letters from the author to a man friend. - CONTENTS: Introduction : Margaret Mitchell and Henry Lave Angel, a lost love -- Lost Laysen : the novella. -- Upon her death in 1949, her personal papers, almost all other writing, and even the original typescript of Gone With the Wind were destroyed. Now, sixty years later, the impossible has happened: The world has another story from Margaret Mitchell. Better still, it s a delight, a fitting predecessor to Americas most beloved epic novel. A spirited tale of love and honor on a doomed South Pacific island called Laysen, Lost Laysen would be justly praised as a charming effort by a remarkable young talent if it were its authors only work. But it isn t, of course, and Lost Laysen also enchants because of the many fascinating ways it foretells Gone With the Wind: in its two central male characters, one a gentleman and the other more rough-hewn, who vie for the attention of a feisty, independent-minded woman, and who will go to any lengths to defend her honor, in its re-creation of a vanished world; and in its unforgettable ending. The real-life romance at the heart of Lost Lay sen s discovery is as enthralling as any work of fiction. Margaret Mitchell gave the story, handwritten in two lined notebooks, to a young suitor, Henry Love Angel. Angel put the notebooks away for safekeeping, just as he put away all of Mitchell s intimate letters to him, as well as their treasured photographs taken over the years. Well over half a century passed before Henry Love Angel s son, realizing what had been passed down to him, brought the story, the letters, and the photos to Atlanta's Road to Tara Museum. Nationally respected Margaret Mitchell historian Debra Freer masterfully weaves Margaret Mitchells never-before-seen letters and photographs into a fascinating introduction that tells the story of Mitchells relationship with Henry Love Angel and puts the writing of Last Laysen into its proper context. Lost Laysen is pure magic, a gift for us to cherish from America s most beloved storyteller. 9780684824284 ISBN 0684824280.

unbound. 1 page, 11 x 7.25 inches, Atlanta, June 29, 1937. Rare letter signed "Margaret Mitchell Marsh," declining an invitation to a party because it conflicts with her wedding anniversary, in full: "Dear Miss Hall: Sue Myrick forwarded to me your invitation, and John and I appreciate it so very much. I know the party will be lots of fun and I only wish we could come, but Sunday is our wedding anniversary and we have already made plans to spend it with friends. I admit that the temptation to break this engagement is strong, because I liked Milledgeville so much when I was there at the Press meeting. And also, I would love to attend your party as Prissy. (That is the only role my size would warrant. The costume would be cheap, too --just a croker sack and ten cents' worth of shoe polish. We do appreciate your invitation so much, and I shall look forward to Sue's description of the party." Two horizontal folds and slight foxing; very good condition.
