Now partially revised and somewhat updated—

and funnier than ever.

Have you ever seen a Multi-toed Snorkel Bill? How about a Southern Snake

Strangler? A Least Minitwit? Well, this may be your only chance.

Birders and just about anyone who likes birds will delight in this field guide parody.

Thirty-two fabulous new species are depicted in this volume, which features tongue-

in-cheek descriptions, observation hints, and range maps, as well as remarkable

full-color illustrations.

Readers will never look at our feathered friends in quite the same way after

encountering these frequent flyers.

This 1934 Pulitzer Prize winner tells the story of a pair

of young newlyweds in antebellum rural Georgia.

LAMB IN HIS BOSOM was the first novel by a Georgia author to win a Pulitzer

Prize. It was soon followed by Margaret Mitchell’s GONE WITH THE WIND. In

fact, Miller’s novel was largely responsible for the discovery of GONE WITH

THE WIND; after reading LAMB, Macmillan editor Harold S. Latham sought

out other southern novels and authors, and found Margaret Mitchell.

LAMB IN HIS BOSOM is a transcendent story centered on the life of a small

backwoods family in southern Georgia. Beginning two decades before the Civil

War and ending as the men return home from battle, Caroline Miller’s classic

follows the story of Cean Smith and her family as they struggle to build their

lives among the poor settlers of the Georgia backwoods—people who never

owned a slave nor planned to fight a war.

Richly authentic and lyrically descriptive, LAMB IN HIS BOSOM pays poignant

tribute to a woman’s life lived on the line between the nature outside her and the

nature within.

Caroline Miller was born in 1903. After her

marriage, she began traveling through rural

south Georgia, interviewing the people she met

and planning a novel; as she had not attended

college, her husband taught her about

literature. “He was my college,” she said.

In 1934, she won the Pulitzer Prize for the

Novel with LAMB IN HIS BOSOM, originally

published by Harper. Her second novel,

LEBANON, was published in 1944. Caroline

Miller died in 1992.

“Your book is undoubtedly the

greatest that ever came

out of the South about

Southern people and it is

my favorite book.”

—Margaret Mitchell, in a letter

to Caroline Miller

“It has a wonderful freshness

about it; not simply the

freshness of a new writer, but

the freshness of a new world. . .

A wonderfully large and

vital picture.”

Based on previously unpublished letters and extensive interviews, this intriguing biography reveals the

devoted marriage and fascinating partnership behindthe Pulitzer Prize–winning novel.

In exposing the private side of this twenty-four-year marriage, author Marianne

Walker confirms a long-suspected truth: GONE WITH THE WIND might have

never been written were it not for Margaret Mitchell’s husband, John Marsh. He

was Peggy’s best friend and constant champion, and he became her editor,

proofreader, researcher, business manager, and the inspiration and motivation

behind her writing.

Lively extracts from Mitchell’s and Marsh’s letters to family and friends describe

the stormy years of their courtship, their bohemian lifestyle as a young married

couple, the arduous but fulfilling years when Mitchell was writing her famous novel,

the thrill of its literary success, and the excitement of the making of the movie.

Drawing on years of meticulous research, Marianne Walker details the

intimate and moving love story between a husband and wife, and between a

writer and her editor.

Erskine Caldwell was the author of twenty-

five novels, including GOD'S LITTLE ACRE and

TOBACCO ROAD. His books have sold eighty

million copies and were translated into

forty-three languages. He died in 1987.

“His struggle for

understanding is graphically

described in his

mesmerizing

autobiography, written with

the artistry that marks his

works.”

—Publishers Weekly

In this forthright and unapologetic autobiography,

esteemed author Erskine Caldwell recounts his

personal and literary battles.

In 1932, Erskine Caldwell’s first novel, TOBACCO ROAD, was the center of

controversy. Some critics condemned the book; others considered it to be the

work of a genius. Today Caldwell’s fifty-plus books have sold more than 80

million copies worldwide, and his stature as a writer has been firmly

established.

In WITH ALL MY MIGHT, Caldwell tells about his work as a cotton picker,

stagehand, professional football player, and war correspondent for Life

magazine during World War II. He describes his four marriages (including his

much-publicized divorce from photographer Margaret Bourke-White). He

writes of the sacrifices he made and the rejections he suffered during the years

he was struggling to have his work published. In his own unique style, Erskine

Caldwell shares his perspective on a life as full and interesting as any he ever

dreamed up for his characters.
