As a little girl, novelist Margaret Mitchell sat on the front porch of her Georgia home, listening to adults tell stories of the Civil War. Mitchell's famous novel of the Old South was published 75 years ago this month; NPR's Kathy Lohr visits "the closest thing to Tara," just south of Atlanta. More at NPR.org

In the spring of 1936, Margaret Mitchell's Gone With The Wind was an instant success. Mitchell won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937 and in 1939 the film won eight Academy Awards. Author Pat Conroy shares his connection to Mitchell's book. More at NPR.org
