Rhett Butler's People
Rhett Butler's People by Donald McCaig is an authorized sequel to Gone with the Wind. It was published in November 2007.
Fully authorized by the Margaret Mitchell estate, Rhett Butler’s People is a novel that parallels Gone with the Wind from Rhett Butler's perspective.[1] The book was unveiled on November 3, 2007[1] after several years of setback and two previous authors.[2][3] Both Emma Tennant and Pat Conroy had been previously commissioned by the estate to produce the book.[2]
The book starts out years before the saga described in the classic original. It starts out with a twenty-one year old Rhett, about to enter a duel.
McCaig makes an unusual and what, for most fans, will come as an unexpected choice. He chooses to disregard the novel Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley. He does not acknowledge its existence in the canon of Gone With the Wind nor does his novel incorporate any of its characters.
