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.…

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. 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 ; Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Margaret Mitchell (1900-1949) was an American author and journalist. As a former newspaper reporter, she began Gone with the Wind in 1926. Only two people-the author and her husband-saw the manuscript before it reached the publisher. Gone with the Wind was awarded the National Book Award in 1936 and the Pulitzer Prize in 1937, and is one of the most bestselling novels of all time.; slight wear to dustjacket ; Contents: Introduction : Margaret Mitchell and Henry Lave Angel, a lost love -- Lost Laysen : the novella ; 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.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine in a Fine dustwrapper. First Edition. Cloth-backed boards. The moving Pulitzer Prize-winning autobiography by this Irish-born New York City teacher, made into a fine film. This is an exceptional Association Copy INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the title page at the time of publication to R'lene Dahlberg who heads the list of Acknowledgments for the book as the one who "fanned the embers." Dahlberg, the sixth of seven wives of author Edward Dahlberg, was a fellow teacher of McCourt's at Stuyvesant High School as well as a friend and muse, as evidenced by this inscription dated 25 November 1996: "For R'lene - with love/and memories of a/friendship that reaches/back almost beyond/memory and will continue/well into the millenium/Love/Frank McCourt." Apparently, he was wrong as we have a note in our possession by R'Lene Dahlberg describing her relationship to McCourt which, by all accounts, seems to have cooled dramatically upon the publication of this book. McCourt admired Edward Dahlberg's superb autobiography BECAUSE I WAS FLESH and modeled his own ANGELA'S ASHES after it, both writers casting their mothers as the central characters. Both emerged from impoverished childhoods to achieve success, though Dahlberg's was critical rather than financial. Dahlberg was dead when ANGELA'S ASHES was published in 1996, but his former wife, R'lene Dahlberg, was alive. She was the first person to encourage McCourt to publish his work and stated in a private note that she "got him his first publication- called 'If you live in a lane.'".…
