A new prequel will tell the story of the character Mammy from Margaret Mitchell's novel "Gone With The Wind." Simon & Schuster imprint Atria Publishing announced that they acquired the rights to "Ruth's Journey", a novel that tells the story of servant Mammy. The Mitchell estate authorized the book, which was written by Donald McCaig. He has written other spin-off's from the "Gone With the Wind" series and has been known to elaborate on the African American experience. Mammy was played in the film version of the book by actress Hattie McDaniel, who won an Academy Award for the role.
Wonder if a movie is up next?!
