"Gone With the Wind" is anything but gone. It's coming back - again - in the form of a second sequel to the 1936 original.
Margaret Mitchell's estate has signed British author Emma Tennant to write another chapter in the lives of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler, said Owen Laster, executive vice president of the William Morris Agency, which represents the Mitchell estate.Alexandra Ripley wrote "Scarlett," the first sequel to "Gone With the Wind," but declined to write another. "Scarlett" sold 2.5 million copies and was made into a television miniseries that begins airing next week.
Tennant has written more than 15 books but is best known for two sequels to Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice."
