Book Review:
This is a simplified version of Margaret Mitchell's classic novel ''Gone with the Wind,'' one of the best-selling novels of all time, published as Level 4 in the Penguin Readers series. Set during the American Civil War and Reconstruction era, the story follows the beautiful and headstrong Scarlett O'Hara. In Part One, Scarlett learns that Ashley Wilkes, the man she secretly loves, is going to marry another woman, the gentle Melanie Hamilton. Even the terrible events of the Civil War seem nothing compared to Scarlett's broken heart. But one man knows her secret: the handsome and dangerous Rhett Butler, who wants her for himself. This graded reader includes an introduction and activities, making it accessible to intermediate English learners while preserving the drama and romance of the original.
