Language Chinese, English Margaret Mitchell's epic novel of love and war won the Pulitzer Prize and went on to give rise to two authorized sequels and one of the most popular and celebrated movies of all time. Many novels have been written about the Civil War and its aftermath. None take us into the burning fields and cities of the American South as Gone With the Wind does, creating haunting scenes and thrilling portraits of characters so vivid that we remember their words and feel their fear and hunger for the rest of our lives. In the two main characters, the white-shouldered, irresistible Scarlett and the flashy, contemptuous Rhett, Margaret Mitchell not only conveyed a timeless story of survival under the harshest of circumstances, she also created two of the most famous lovers in the English-speaking world since Romeo and Juliet.

This delightful collection of charmingly told animal stories started out as bedtime reading for the author's grandchildren, some ideas of whom contributed to its inspiration. Here you will meet such characters as a little duck who refuses to fly south for the winter with the other ducks because he wants to be independent, Jasper the scaredy-cat who is afraid of everything until he meets little Calico, and a field mouse who constantly exaggerates and never really listens, with unexpectedly dangerous consequences for her family. Interspersed with the stories are funny poems and questions to make you think. Although the animals are frankly humanised, the author's voice is never condescending but supremely natural. Principles to enable a child to cope with life's challenges are communicated in an imaginative and sensitive manner.
