The estate of Margaret Mitchell, author of “Gone With the Wind,” is working with a New York literary agent on an authorized novel continuing the story of Scarlett and Rhett. The sequel, as yet untitled, could be published as soon as next year, and a follow-up to the blockbuster 1939 movie is likely to follow, said T. Hal Clarke, an Atlanta attorney who represents the Mitchell estate in decisions concerning “Gone With the Wind.” Clarke said Thursday.
