Lost Laysen
Author: Margaret Mitchell
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.

An almost lost, nearly forgotten novella, it has parallels in characters and plot that are precursors to her triumphant Gone With the Wind. Laysen is a tropical isle that, like Vulcans Peak in Coopers The Crater, disappears in a volcanic eruption. There are the love triangle and the arch-villain, all neatly compressed in a little tale that somewhat reminds me of Somerset Maughams South Pacific stories.

The world only saw one book by Margaret Mitchell published in her lifetime, the incomparable, Gone With the Wind. Upon her death in 1949, her personal papers, almost all her other writing, and even the original transcript of Gone With the Wind were destroyed. Now sixty years later, the impossible has happened: The world has another story from Margaret Mitchell. She gave the story, handwritten in two lined notebooks, to a young suitor.

I found this book to be written very nicely & I enjoyed the read a lot.

Not GWTW, but, for those who are hungry for any further insight into Margaret Mitchell, this is a sample of some of her early writing.

Short and sweet. Too bad it's the only other book that we have of Margaret Mitchell's.
