I'm with those who would have love to read a Margaret Mitchell sequel to "Gone With The Wind". I mean the ending of GWTW ihas got to be the most perfect set-up for a sequel:
"Tara. Home. I'll go home, and I'll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day".

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

Yeah, GWTW definitely needed one. After reading it as a teenager, I devised several endings. Then I read Scarlett, did not like it at all. Not that it might not have done well enough alone, but it wasn't a sequel, the characters weren't the same people. Just the same names, and a few of the same facts. The nuances that only the creator can give her own creations were all wrong.
Sabatini's Scaramouche during The Reign of Terror and "buddy" of Talleyrand through the rise of Napoleon..

Bodo the Apostate, a novel set during the reign of Louis the Pious and end of the Carolingian Empire.
