Gone+With+the+Wind

__Gone With the Wind __ by Margret Mitchell. The novel was first published in 1936. The censorship was from the beginning, due to the sexual content, however only recently added to the banned list due to the racial content. The genre is historical fiction of the Civil War. The reading level is appropriate for the middle school, starting as early as the 5th grade. I was actually surprised to see this book on the banned list.
