Adam POD July 3-8 Anticipating Adam

[manulanee]

The idea for this POD was born last month when I re-read Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone with the Wind” for the umpteenth time and found that she seemed to be portraying our Adam more than once. I even could remember certain Bonanza scenes perfectly matching the descriptions. No wonder Pernell was chosen to play Rhett Butler in the musical in 1974.

All quotations are from my copy of "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell, Paperback Edition 2008.

And he stood alone in his interest in books and music and his fondness for writing poetry.
