As a big Gone With the Wind and Margaret Mitchell fan I knew that this was a book that I wanted to read. I loved reading the preface and the timeline of Margaret Mitchell's life. I always enjoy reading about how other people discovered Gone With the Wind so I was really glad that the author included that in the preface. I have to agree with another reviewer that an encyclopedia format probably isn't the best format for a book about Margaret Mitchell. To me an encyclopedia is a reference material and is not meant to be read straight through. Reading this book straight through was definitely hard as I felt I was jumping all over the place. I would definitely recommend future readers to read this as you would any other encyclopedia and not try to read it straight through.Anita Price Davis compiled many different sources when writing this book. She has clearly done her research. I like that she brought to light things that we have now learned about Mitchell that contradict the early descriptions of her. If you want to read more about her charity work then I would recommend this book. I did find a few typos throughout this book but that did not lessen my interest any. I would definitely recommend this book to Margaret Mitchell fans.[I received this book from a Librarything Early Reviewers giveaway. The content of my review is not affected by that.]
