Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, Margaret Mitchell's great novel of the South is one of the most popular books ever written. Within six months of its publication in 1936, Gone With the Wind had sold a million copies. To date, it has been translated into 25 languages, and more than 28 million copies have been sold.

Here are the characters that have become symbols of passion and desire: darkly handsome Rhett Butler and flirtatious Scarlett O'Hara. Behind them stand their gentler counterparts: Ashley Wilkes and Melanie Hamilton. As the lives and affairs of these absorbing characters play out against the tumult of the Civil War, Gone With the Wind reaches dramatic heights that have swept generations of fans off their feet.

Having lived in Atlanta for many years, narrator Linda Stephens has an authentic ear for the dialects of that region. Get ready to hear Gone With the Wind exactly as it was written: every word beautifully captured in a spectacular unabridged audio production.

Featured Article: The Best Historical Fiction Audiobooks


Often based on real people, events, and scenarios, historical fiction gives us the opportunity to learn about worlds and times we will never experience while introducing fascinating characters and stories set in their midst. Sometimes, the genre can even give us a peek into hidden storylines that routinely go unmentioned in traditional history books, showing us that those of ages past are perhaps not so different from ourselves.

I have read the book, seen the movie many times, but this was by far the most enjoyable GWTW experience. I heard things I missed or forgot in the read and that were totally not part of the film. For any fan of Margaret Mitchell's masterpiece - the Audio version is a must do!

what a surprise

This was an absolute joy to listen to! The reader had such wonderful character voices that I could picture every moment in the book. I am so glad I listened to it before watching the movie.

The way Gone with the Wind should sound!

I've always loved this movie. I'd never read the book and assumed it was close to the movie. It isn't. It's so much better! The narator did a great job too. This audio book is 49+ hours, but totally worth it!

Loved the movie never read the book before

I thoroughly enjoyed this narrator!!!!!!! In the first chapter I was slightly thrown off b/c "my" Scarlett's voice has always been that of Vivien Leigh but Linda Stephens reigned me in in no time flat! Linda Stephens does a WONDERFUL job for EVERY characters' voice. (I especially liked her Rhett voice!) Awesome narrator & worth every penny!

Narrator is EXCELLENT!

I've always loved the movie. But the book 48hrs long goes into so much more detail. So much history of Civil War battles, the shocking tactic of Yankee tactics of burning everything, crops, houses, confiscation of everything edible. It is easy to see why the Yankee was hated in the South. Perhaps 700,000 persons died in the Civil War. More than all other wars combined. I wonder how much we would have revered Lincoln now if he hadn't been assasinated.

Totally absorbing
