About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Scribner, 1996. First Edition, First Printing 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A spirited tale of love and honor on a doomed South Pacific island called Laysen, this delightful predecessor to GONE WITH THE WIND was discovered in the archives of a young suitor of the author, Henry Love Angel (by his son), some fifty years after Margaret Mitchell had given the story to him handwritten in two lined notebooks. Respected Margaret Mitchell historian Debra Freer masterfully weaves the author's letters and photographs into a fascinating intoruction that tells the story of Mitchell's relationship with Henry Love Angel and puts the writing of LOST LAYSEN into its proper context. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. As new, unread copy, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. L1
Synopsis
Lost Laysen is a novella written by Margaret Mitchell in 1916, although it was not published until 1996. Mitchell, who is best known as the author of Gone with the Wind, was believed to have only written one full book during her lifetime. However, when she was 15, she had written the manuscript to Lost Laysen -- a romance set in the South Pacific.
