A first edition, first printing of ‘Gone With The Wind’ by Margaret Mitchell, published by Macmillan in 1936. A very good book without inscriptions or foxing – a little wear to the edges and to the corners, but a really superb copy without the elusive dust wrapper.

Gone with the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell, is an epic historical novel set during the American Civil War and Reconstruction era. Published in 1936, it centres on Scarlett O’Hara, a determined Southern belle, as she navigates love, loss, and survival amid the fall of the South. Scarlett’s unrequited love for Ashley Wilkes and her tumultuous relationship with the roguish Rhett Butler drive the plot, highlighting her resilience and moral complexities. Through Scarlett’s journey, the novel explores themes of loyalty, social change, and endurance. Widely acclaimed, it won the Pulitzer Prize and remains a landmark in American literature and culture.
