ILLUSTRATED LETTERS OF THE BRONTES

The story of the Brontë sisters at Haworth Parsonage and of the imaginary worlds they spun in their novels and poetry. The book draws on their letters to each other, Emily and Anne's secret diaries, Charlotte's exchanges with luminaries of literary England, and the correspondence of those closest to them, such as their brother Branwell, their father Patrick, and their novelist friend Mrs Gaskell. Illustrated throughout with sketches and paintings by the Brontes, tiny drawings they made as children, facsimile documents, paintings by contemporary artists, and pictures of household life.
