Dear Reader,

Peachtree turns thirty-five years old this year. Our goal to publish quality books for children and adults

that inspire, educate, and entertain remains unchanged. We believe that the books we publish should gain

a good foothold at the start and live for many years thereafter. Our first title, If I Found a Wistful Unicorn by

Ann Ashford, illustrated by Bill Drath, is still in print.

We hope you’ll find some pleasant surprises in our 2012 adult catalog as well as a few old friends

you may have forgotten. If you have not received our spring 2012 children’s catalog and would like to see

it, please give us a call. We will happily send one, and we’d love to hear from you.

All good wishes,

FROM THE PUBLISHERFROM THE PUBLISHER

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’snovel 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 back-woods family in southern Georgia. beginning two decades before the Civil War andending as the men return home from battle, Caroline Miller’s classic follows thestory of Cean smith and her family as they struggle to build their lives among thepoor settlers of the Georgia backwoods—people who never owned a slave norplanned to fight a war.

Richly authentic and lyrically descriptive, LAMb IN HIs bosoM pays poignant tribute to awoman’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 aboutliterature. “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.”

not simply the freshness of a new

writer, but the freshness of a

new world. . . A wonderfully large

2 Margaret Mitchell & John Marsh

based on previously unpublished letters and extensive

interviews, this intriguing biography reveals the

devoted marriage and fascinating partnership behind

the pulitzer prize–winning novel.

In exposing the private side of this twenty-four-year marriage, author MarianneWalker confirms a long-suspected truth: gonE WITh ThE WInd might have never beenwritten were it not for Margaret Mitchell’s husband, John Marsh. he was Peggy’s bestfriend 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 thestormy 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 thrillof its literary success, and the excitement of the making of the movie.

drawing on years of meticulous research, Marianne Walker details the intimate andmoving love story between a husband and wife, and between a writer and her editor.

ideas about how to help them.

“…these children are misfits for reasons that are both

identifiable and correctable.”

do the best they can with what’s at hand. And they always do

it with a tremendous sustaining power of love.
