If you sometimes wish that you could be transported back to a time when balls were held, horse drawn carriages roamed the city streets of Atlanta, and corsets were all the rage then the Gone With the Wind personal checks might be right up your alley.

One of the most popular novels of all time, it has sold more than 30 million copies around the world. It has been turned into a movie, a musical, and a play and has spawned a multitude of pop culture references.

Despite its huge popularity, Gone with the Wind was the only novel that Margaret Mitchell, a spunky former reporter, wrote. It took Margaret 7 years to write it and nearly an entire year just to check the historical facts in it. In 1937 it won the Pulitzer Prize and later won numerous Oscars at the Academy Awards for the 1939 screen adaptation of it.

Today, Gone with the Wind is known for its lyrical imagery of the old south, as well as for the melodramatic antics of the lead heroine, Scarlett O'Hara. Although it sometimes gets criticism for its portrayal of race in the old south, an extreme amount of historical research went into the crafting of the book itself.

It is possible that many of the characters portrayed in the book were based on real people in Margaret's life, including her grandmother and first husband. It has also been indicated that Scarlett herself was based on President Theodore Roosevelt's mother, Martha Bulloch Roosevelt.

When the movie was being filmed, hundreds of actresses tried out for the part of Scarlett, including Bette Davis and Lucille Ball. It's hard to imagine the film being the same without the ethereal beauty of Vivian Leigh, however. The legend goes that the director first knew that she was Scarlett when he saw the flames of the burning of Atlanta reflecting in her eyes.
