*** Gone with the Wind is a novel written by Margaret Mitchell, first published in 1936. The story is set in Clayton County, Georgia, and Atlanta during the American Civil War and Reconstruction. It depicts the experiences of Scarlett O\'Hara, the spoiled daughter of a well-to-do plantation owner, who must use every means at her disposal to come out of the poverty she finds herself in after Sherman\'s \"March to the Sea\". A work of historical fiction, the story is a Bildungsroman or coming-of-age story, with the novel\'s title taken from a poem written by the British poet, Ernest Dowson.

Gone with the Wind was popular with American readers from the onset and was the top American fiction bestseller in the year it was published and again in 1937. As of 2008, a Harris poll found it to be the second favorite book by American readers, just behind the Bible. More than 30 million copies have been printed worldwide.

The novel is the culmination of Southern plantation fiction and it is written from the perspective of the slaveholder. Its portrayal of slavery and African Americans is controversial, as well as its use of a racial epithet and ethnic slurs. However, the novel has become a reference point for many subsequent writers about the South, both black and white. Scholars at American universities refer to the novel in their writings, interpret and study it. The novel has become absorbed into American popular culture.

Margaret Mitchell was bold in the use of color symbolism, particularly the colors red and green, which surround Scarlett O\'Hara. Mitchell identified the novel\'s primary theme as survival. She left the novel\'s ending speculative for the reader, however. She was often asked what became of her lovers, Rhett and Scarlett, after the novel ended. She did not know, and said, \"For all I know, Rhett may have found someone else who was less difficult.\"I have taken vintage postal stamps of magnificence created forcommerce worldwide, and delicately inserted them into these perfectly sized matte gold glass frames (2.75\" x 3.75\") witha richly colored felt background.
